The "Graduate" Study.
Ramsey, Craig A.; Wright, E. N.
This report compares several educational programs for non-English-speaking students in Toronto, Canada. The Main Street program, initiated in 1965, is a full-time program of "cultural immersion" for students 12 years of age and older. The Givens Public School presented a similar program at the same time within a regular school. This program, referred to as a "reception center," and the "cultural immersion" program are contrasted with the "withdrawal programs" in operation throughout the city. Comparisons of results of the programs are made between students who had been in any of the programs and then graduated to a regular class. Results are assessed both in terms of test performance and teachers' assessments of the students. Subjects in this study represent six predominant language groups including Chinese, Greek, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Yugoslavian. Statistical data are illustrated by several charts and graphs. A sample questionnaire, "The New Canadians," is included. (RL)
