Les chemins de l’assimilation

The author's examination of the effect on French language mother tongue grade school children who attend English language schools. She looked at Francophone children attending six English-language schools in Montreal and one in Quebec City. The author divided the children into three groups: Group 1 consisted of fifteen children who had been in the English school system for one year; Group 2 consisted of twenty-one children who had been in the English school system for two years; and Group 3 consisted of twenty-eight children who had been in the English school system for three years or more. Each student was given the Ministry of Education's French test (1972-1973) for the 6th year, and the performance test in French of the Commission des écoles catholiques de Montréa (1970-1971) for the 4th year. The author found that for each year that a child attended an English-language school, their stanine score decreased proportionatly.
