Description
Findings of a New England study comparing the listening comprehension, reading abilities, and general mental abilities of English-speaking, Franco American French-speaking, and bilingual fourth-grade students in parochial school French language classes. An evaluation of a specific FLES (Foreign Language in Elementary Schools) curriculum - the "Holy Ghost French Series" - used widely in the Roman Catholic elementary schools of New England in the 1950s and 1960s. Presents tables and figures comparing scores from student tests taken in 1962. Comments on inefficiencies and shortcomings of the administered tests (Otis Quick-Scoring Mental Ability Test and Elementary Reading Test), as well as the suggestions of their results for language learning among bilingual and monolingual students.
