Annotation

This study argues that the languages employed by multilinguals have special roles in the process of addressing a composition task in a third-language text. Whilst compiling the target language text, study participants employed their first language, hungarian, mainly for task recognition and self-regulation, and used their second language, Romanian, chiefly as linguistic aid in the process of producing the target language content.
