Swain, Merrill; And Others – 1976
This paper presents empirical data concerning the use of a cloze test as a measure of second language proficiency.

Peer reviewedHarley, Birgit; And Others – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1986
The development of first language skills among native English-speaking students enrolled in early French immersion programs was explored. Preliminary results support the hypothesis that early bilingual schooling enhances the students'performances on various kinds of first language learning tasks. (Author/CB)
