This study arose from the recently published report of the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) in Britain, "Primary French in the Balance" (1974). The study consists principally of a series of discussions between the project leader, Ontario Ministry of Education officials, the principal investigator, and other invited participants in the workshop sessions. The study summarizes the main findings of the research undertaken in Britain between 1964 and 1974 and raises in the form of questions and answers the principal issues of interest to Ontario educators. Questions concern experimental French instruction in Britain - specifically the materials used, program objectives, teachers, evaluation of experimental programs, and the results of the evaluations. Discussions of the latter include the effect of class size, grouping, and individualization; the amount of time alloted for instruction; the age factor on achievement; student attitudes and motivation; and the situation in small rural schools.
