Teaching Standard English in the Third Grade: Classroom Functions of Language1
This study is based on the examination of twenty lessons of about 20 minutes duration each. Ten of the lessons dealt with teaching standard English negation (lesson 1), ten of the lessons dealt with the teaching of standard English past tense formation (lesson 2). The pupils were third graders, predominantly speakers of Vernacular Black English (VBE). The purpose of the study was (I) to determine the distribution of the main classroom discourse f…
Requesting in Elementary School Classrooms
Classes were videotaped of nineteen third-grade teachers teaching a lesson in the use of standard English negation to children who are dominantly speakers of vernacular Black English. Verbal interactions taking place in the classes of five teachers whose pupils scored highest (Group A), and of five teachers whose pupils scored lowest (Group B) on a posttest (adjusted by a pretest score) were studied. Patterns of requests performed by pupils and t…
Foreign Language Teaching and Bilingual Education: Research Implications
Much of the recent research in second language acquisition has focused on the learner rather than on the teacher and has been undertaken not in foreign language teaching but rather in bilingual education context, in which second language acquisition takes place through functional use rather than through formal instruction. However, research findings suggest that primary school children exposed to bilingual immersion‐type programs which lack a sec…

The Acquisition of English and the Maintenance of Spanish in a Bilingual Education Program
Spanish and English versions of a 38-item grammar test were administered to 40 Spanish-surnamed pupils equally divided by sex at grade levels K, one, three, and five (10 subjects per grade) in a bilingual education program. The test was a revision of part of an earlier test for oral proficiency in Spanish and English. The reliability of the new test, measured by Cronbach a, was .95 for the Spanish version and .96 for the English version, but many…

A Test of Proficiency in Black Standard and Nonstandard Speech
As part of the development of a test battery to determine proficiency in Black standard and nonstandard speech, a test was devised consisting of a repetition task. Fifteen sentences in Black standard and fifteen sentences in Black nonstandard English were to be repeated. The sentences were contained within two similar stories recorded on tape by a bidialectal speaker. A Black experimenter administered the test to 35 Black kindergarten children (1…

An Error Analysis of the Spoken English of Mexican-american Pupils in a Bilingual School and a Monolingual School1
Speech samples were obtained from Mexican-American children who attended a monolingual school (N = 67) and Mexican-American children who attended a bilingual school (N = 59) in the same school district. The children were asked to tell the story of a silent movie they had watched immediately before being interviewed. Their answers were recorded on tape and transcribed. Deviations from standard English were counted and categorized. The main finding…

Some Reflections on "Good" and "Bad" Language Teaching Behaviors
In an experiment conducted recently at the Stanford Center for Research and Development in Teaching, the frequency of selected classroom behaviors of 17 French teachers was observed and correlated with measures of achievement in French on the part of their students. The frequency of some behaviors (e.g. use of Free Response drills; use of visual aids) correlated positively with student achievement. Behaviors showing no significant correlation wit…

An Experiment in the Presentation of Parallel and Contrasting Structures
Five learning experiments (three in French, two In Spanish) were conducted. The main independent treatment variable in each experiment was the sequence of presentation of a contrasting structure and a parallel structure closely related to it (e.g., the French and English patterns used in Donne-moi/ Give me are parallel structures while those used in Ne me donne pas/Don't give me are contrasting). The following research hypotheses were investigate…

Robert A.

I should like,…
