Effect of Language of Instruction on Physics Achievement.

Ho, Kwok K.

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v19 n9 p761-67 Dec 1982

Investigated relationships between physics achievement and language of instruction where instruction was in the second language of both students and teachers. Grade 10 subjects (N=176) studied light/sound in either Chinese (N=90) or English (N=86). No differences in achievement, students' motivation, and time spent in physics were found. (Author/JN)
