The Nonpublic School Program English as a Second Language was designed to provide remedial instruction in the English language with emphasis on oral English for those eligible non-English speaking pupils enrolled in Title I nonpublic schools. It operated in 89 schools and served over three thousand pupils in grades kindergarten through twelve. The program's major objective was that of enabling pupils in the program to achieve statistically significant improvement in their English language competency and fluency. The program provided language experiences employing an audiolingual approach to small groups of students, ranging in numbers of four to eight. These pupils received instruction for approximately 45 minutes a day, and for between two and five days per week. A wide variety of learning materials and audiovisual equipment was employed by the program. The program administrators provided ongoing training which tied the various program elements together. In addition, the operation of an exchange center provided teachers with an opportunity to become familiar with a wide array of materials and to exchange materials which were not specifically appropriate for their students with those which were. Test results for participating pupils demonstrated that students at all grade levels experienced statistically significant gains. (Author/AM)
