Grade 6 French Immersion Students' Performance on Large-Scale Reading, Writing, and Mathematics Tests
We analyzed data from Ontario's provincial testing program to ascertain if the reading, writing, and mathematics skills of grade 6 immersion students were comparable to those of regular English program students. Various immersion program designs were taken into account. The analysis confirms the results of earlier program evaluations that any lags in immersion students' achievement in reading, writing, and math disappear by grade 6. We offer two …
Space, Linkages, and Successful Urban Regions
The hypothesis advanced in this paper is that the spatial dimension of external linkages and networks in any particular region varies depending on the region's characteristics both in terms of the degree of regional embeddedness evident in the regional innovation system and the position of the region on the international urban hierarchy. The balancing of globalization and localization in different regional systems is reflected in the different th…
Innovation in Europe
This paper identifies four groups of theory that seek to explain the relationships between innovation and space. These are traditional agglomeration theory, networking, learning and new competitiveness theory. Evidence on the last three, most recent theories is sought by analysing the results of comparable surveys of innovative firms in Amsterdam, London, Milan, Paris and Stuttgart. The empirical results show that differences occur in the externa…
Vocabulary Learning in the Content-oriented Second-language Classroom
This study is concerned with the strategies that adolescent learners use to discover the meaning of new words in a second language and to consolidate their knowledge of such words. A questionnaire is used to probe the perceptions of students in two content-oriented French second language classrooms at the secondary school level. The questions focus on what actions the learners take to determine the meaning of unfamiliar French words, how helpful …

Where the buck stops
There has been little critical scrutiny of the extent to which the members of different social classes support current public educational institutions. This paper explores the attitudes toward education of class groups in relation to the declared agendas of class leaders, using public opinion surveys conducted regularly in Canada's economic heartland of Ontario between 1978 and 1996. An analysis of class leaders’ public discourse indicates that c…
Adolescent Language Learners on a Three‐Month Exchange
This paper examines the diaries that were kept by 18 anglophone high‐school students of French while they spent three months in Quebec as part of an exchange program. The four main research issues deal with: 1) insights into the language learning process provided by the student diarists; 2) affective factors in language learning; 3) extralinguistic benefits of the exchange; and 4) the ways in which the diaries supplement other data, such as tests…
Second Language Processing at Different Ages
Seeking a processing explanation for the phonological merits of early age exposure to second language use, this study investigates the relationship between age of arrival in the L2 environment and a preference for prosodic versus syntactic cues to sentence interpretation in English. The learners were Cantonese-speaking ESL students at Canadian schools: 13 students in Grade 2,27 students in Grades 7/8, and 16 in Grades 11/12. All had been in Canad…
Policy Review Section
In this issue of the Policy Review Section, Michael Clarke and John Stewart of the Institute of Local Government Studies, University of Birmingham, examine the changing role of local government within the framework of a newly emerging and fragmented form of community governance. In the second article Kevin Hannigan of the Department of Banking and Commerce, University of Ulster, examines the regional impact of the Irish government's tourism progr…
Policy Review Section
In this issue of the Policy Review Section, Doug Hart, of the Department of Land Management and Development, University of Reading, summarizes the results of a study into the experience of the evaluation of urban regeneration policies in the United States over the past decade. Alongside a cutback in urban regeneration programmes during the Reagan Presidency, methods of evaluation underwent substantial changes reflecting, amongst other things, a s…
The role of mother tongue literacy in third language learning
This paper examines the effect of mother tongue literacy on third language learning in an English/French bilingual programme in Toronto. Subjects were eighth grade students who had acquired a Heritage Language at home and who had enrolled in an English‐medium programme up to grade 4. All were literate in English on entry to the bilingual programme at grade 5. In addition, some of the students had acquired literacy skills in their Heritage Languag…
Planning as an iterative process∗
Ordering Change and Changing Orders
Planning, it has been suggested, should serve as a framework for steering urban policy. The extent to which this prescriptive ideal has been realized in practice is a debatable point but it can be safely maintained that planning is becoming an increasingly important strand in the process of making policy at the urban level. One of the principal justifications for city planning is in fact that it aids policy-makers in their attempt to beneficially…
