Writing Skills of Grade Three French Immersion Pupils. Working Papers on Bilingualism, No. 7.
Swain, Merrill
This paper analyzes short stories written in English and French by French immersion pupils at the Grade 3 level. Their English writing skills are compared to those of Grade 3 pupils in a regular English program. Aspects of their writing skills which are examined include vocabulary skills, technical skills (punctuation, capitalization and spelling), grammatical skills and creativity. The errors made by the pupils are discussed in detail. (Author)
