Evaluation of an English as a Second Language Program for Southeast Asian Students.

Weslander, Darrell; Stephany, Gene V.

TESOL Quarterly, v17 n3 p473-80 Sep 1983

An evaluation of a Des Moines program, in which the relationship of student background and program achievement was examined, is summarized. It was found that more instruction in English was beneficial in the first year of schooling, but had diminishing effects during the second and third years. Implications for similar programs are discussed. (MSE)
