Year-One Evaluation of French in the Elementary Schools. Research Report 75-17.
Gleadow, N. E.
During the 1974-1975 school year eight itinerant French teachers travelled among 20 elementary schools teaching oral French to Grade 6 and Grade 7 students. Each teacher was responsible for two or three schools, The course was based on the book Le Francais Partout-Cours Preliminaire (1967) ed.). The study described in this report was initiated to provide a baseline of data for evaluating and monitoring the program in subsequent years and to describe the 1974-75 program and provide information for changes and improvements. The results of this study indicated that there were definite gains in the students' aural skills in French. A large percentage indicated that they felt the program should continue, and slightly fewer wanted to take another French course in the following year. The itinerant teachers expressed general satisfaction with the program. They all said they would be willing to devote as much time to it in the following years, though the travelling, large class sizes, and carrying materials around with them were disadvantages. The question of whether this course should be taught by resident teachers or itinerant teachers has not been resolved and should be addressed in the next years of this study. (Author/BW)
