The Evaluation of the Traditional Grammar Curriculum in The Netherlands.

Wesdorp, Hildo

Studies in Educational Evaluation, v10 n3 p283-97 1984

The two major justifications for the traditional grammar curriculum in Dutch schools are: (1) its superiority to direct skill training in improving general language ability; and (2) its facilitation of teaching and learning foreign languages. An evaluative investigation, which included a literature review and logbook and textbook surveys, found no support for these assumptions. (BS)
