Foreign Language Proficiency of At-Risk and Not-At-Risk Learners over 2 Years of Foreign Language Instruction: A Follow-Up Study.

Sparks, Richard L.; And Others

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v30 n1 p92-98 Jan-Feb 1997

Seven sophomores at risk for problems with learning a foreign language were taught using a multisensory structured language approach. Over two years, they made significant gains on native language phonological/orthographic measures and a foreign language aptitude test. Despite gains, the students did not catch up with typical students on these measures. (Author/CR)
