French and English Together: An "Additive" Experience
Wiltshire, Jessica; Harbon, Lesley
Babel, v44 n3 p14-25 May 2010
This paper examines the nature of the "additive" experience of a bilingual French-English curriculum at Killarney Heights Public School in New South Wales. Predictably, the well-supported "additive" nature of the languages program model elicited positive reactions regarding educational success. The paper also explores issues for administration, implementation, and teacher professionalism in regard to such a curriculum offering. (Contains 1 table.)
