The Effects of Reading Aloud in French to Immersion Children on Second Language Acquisition.

Romney, J. C.; And Others

Canadian Modern Language Review, v45 n3 p530-38 Mar 1989

A study compared the effect of reading aloud to grade two French immersion students with that of participation in the normal language arts curriculum during a three-month period. Reading aloud was found to be a simple but effective adjunct to formal teaching methods for accelerating second language acquisition. (29 references) (Author/MSE)
