Language Impaired Children's Performance in an Additive Bilingual Education Program.

Bruck, Margaret

Applied Psycholinguistics, v3 n1 p45-60 Mar 1982

Cognitive, academic, first language, and second language abilities of language-impaired children attending French immersion programs were assessed in kindergarten and grade 1. After two years of instruction, second language skills were improving, but not comparably to nonlanguage-impaired students. Optimal language of instruction theories are considered. (MSE)
