A Summary of the Elementary School Evaluation of the Early French Immersion Program in Fredericton, N.B.

Gray, Vicky A.

Canadian Modern Language Review, v42 n5 p940-51 May 1986

The results of an evaluation of a New Brunswick elementary school immersion program show that native speakers of English do not achieve the same proficiency in French language skills as they do in English. This is due to their limited exposure to native French speaking models outside the classroom. (MSE)
