Second-Language Acquisition through Subject-Matter Learning: A Study of Sheltered Psychology Classes at the University of Ottawa.

Edwards, Henry; And Others

Canadian Modern Language Review, v41 n2 p268-82 Nov 1984

An experiment on second language learning placed college students in a psychology course taught in their second language (English or French) in "sheltered" classes. Comprehension was emphasized. Second language proficiency, self-evaluation, and subject-matter performance gave evidence supporting this approach to second language learning. (MSE)
