The Long-Term Retention of French by Dutch Students.

Weltens, Bert; And Others

Studies in Second Language Acquisition, v11 n2 p205-16 Jun 1989

Investigation of the retention of school-learned French language skills in Dutch students over a period of four years following training revealed that global receptive skills actually improved. Only lexical and grammatical skills attrited, although students' self-perception of their skill retention was much more negative. (Author/JR)
