Mougeon, Raymond; Canale, Michael

Interchange on Educational Policy, v9 n4 p30-39 1978-79

Other contributing factors include francophone concentration and institutional support for French in the public and private sector. Difficulties related to French language schooling and suggestions for improving the status of French are presented. (JMF)
