Lapkin, Sharon; Harley, Birgit; Hart, Doug
Learning Languages, v2 n3 p4-8 Spr 1997
Summarizes a study on block scheduling for second-language programs among Canadian middle school students. Results show that students studying French on a block schedule (e.g., one-half day instruction over a 10-week period) performed better on standardized tests than did control students who received standard 40-minute per day French instruction.
