Résumé
This study examines the use of languages by bilingual undergraduate mathematics learners. It adopts a commognitive lens to examine whether language use by bilingual undergraduate mathematics learners impacts upon meta-level mathematical processes of learners, in particular in relation to functions. The findings suggest that there was a lack of code switching between languages when engaged in mathematical tasks and completing the mathematical tasks individually or in pairs impacted on the choice of language employed in the discourse. There was greater evidence of meta-level thinking through the medium of Irish than in English.
