Short description: | NFER's "Primary French in the Balance" | ||
Medium description: | National Foundation for Educational Research member, Dr Clare Burstall's "Primary French in the Balance". A report on the Pilot Scheme. Attempted to answer a number of questions about the Pilot Scheme: - does starting French at 8 produce better results than starting at 11? No, except in listening comprehension, pronunciation and in a positive attitude to speaking the language. - does the introduction of French in the primary curriculum adversely affect other educational development? - are there ability levels below which the introduction of French is pointless? - what mathods and approaches produce the best results? - what organisational problems arise form the early introduction of French?
