Fazio, Lucy L.; Stevens, Florence
Applied Linguistics, v15 n4 p421-41 Dec 1994
Examined the influence of 4 variables (supplementary mother-tongue instruction, length of residence in the host country, self-esteem, and schools) on the French oral comprehension and expression of 137 minority language immigrant children in 4 Montreal elementary schools. Results found that supplementary mother-tongue instruction did not significantly predict French language performance. (43 references) (MDM)
