Grade 3 Immersion Students' Performance in Literacy and Mathematics: Province-Wide Results from Ontario (1998-99).

Turnbull, Miles; Lapkin, Sharon; Hart, Doug

Canadian Modern Language Review, v58 n1 p9-26 Sep 2001

Compares immersion and non-immersion students' results on provincial Grade 3 tests in Ottawa in 1998-99. Explores the results by immersion type--according to the grade at which English literacy instruction is introduced, and the proportion of instructional time in English. Results corroborate those of large-scale evaluation studies of French immersion programs conducted 25 years ago. (Author/VWL)
