Language, Culture and Curriculum, v16 n1 p48-59 2003
Twelve Spanish-speaking school-aged children participated in an 8-week pretest/posttest design investigation targeting improvement of their communicative competence through a narrative intervention program. Also examined the efficacy of providing an intervention in the children's native language. Findings revealed that use of a narrative intervention in the native language yields greater success compared with intervention presented in English. (Author/VWL)
