Abstract | Focuses on experimental bilingual programs in Guinea-Bissau and Niger, West Africa where transitional bilingual programs were introduced in pilot schools. Compared test results and teacher-pupil interaction between bilingual and monolingual (ex-colonial language) schools. Test results in Niger demonstrated that pupils who started in their mother tongues could read and write better, even in their second language. Observations from both countries indicated bilingual classrooms were stimulating, relaxing, and interactive. (Author/VWL) |
