Victor: A Case Study of a Cantonese Child in Early French Immersion.

Taylor, Shelley

Canadian Modern Language Review, v48 n4 p736-59 Jun 1992

A study investigated the academic, sociocultural, psychological, and linguistic adaptation of a shy four-year-old native Cantonese-speaking child enrolled in early French immersion in Canada, learning English and French simultaneously. Areas of future research on trilingualism are suggested, and the popular belief that immersion works only for majority language children is questioned. (51 references) (Author/MSE)
