Would translating the questions into a foreign language as one goes through the test also help? I mean, suppose a school level introduction to rational thinking was designed, and the pupils told to translate things for themselves into a FL they study? It would be good practice for both tasks, and they might retain the habit of switching to the FL when they have to formalize real-life problems. What do you think?
