Could online technology be a clue as to why boys in Norway are outperforming girls in learning English as a second language? New study suggests girls did better than the boys in learning their native tongue.

Experts propose the perhaps unexpected results might be explained by online gaming and experiences with other digital technologies such as YouTube .

The team recommends that in addition to improving the assessment of English , more knowledge on gender differences in second or additional languages will be "important" Limitations of the research include that the tests for English and Norwegian are not exactly the same and do not measure across the same domains.
