Effects of a Bilingual Instructional Program on Conceptual Development in Primary School Children.
Cathcart, W. George
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v28 n1 p31-43 Mar 1982
To investigate whether children who had been in a bilingual instructional program for three years or less would have some cognitive advantages over those in monolingual programs, 96 (50 percent male, 50 percent female) first to third graders from Edmonton (Alberta) were tested in 1979. The children in bilingual programs outperformed their monolingual peers. (LC)
