Social Context and the Acquisition of German by Turkish Migrant Children.

Rohr-Sendlmeier, Una M.

Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v11 n5 p377-91 1990

To find out which context variables relate to improvement in the second-language acquisition of migrant children in West Germany, a longitudinal study with a follow-up design with Turkish elementary school students was set up. The study was carried out using standardized tests and by conducting interviews with the pupils, their parents and siblings, and their teachers. (40 references) (JL)
