French Immersion (Does It Work?) and the "Development of Bilingual Proficiency" Report.

Hammerly, Hector

Canadian Modern Language Review, v45 n3 p567-78 Mar 1989

A discussion of the effectiveness of French immersion education chronicles its history, presents some of the evidence against the approach, discusses the findings of a recent report in light of pedagogical rather than theoretical second language acquisition assumptions, and outlines the alternative road to bilingualism through classroom instruction.
