Rouquette, Michel-Louis – Francais dans le Monde, 1975
The pedagogue is caught between the qualitative and quantitative or regularized aspects of his work, a situation not automatically conducive to scientific study. The article refreshes the instructor on the elementary principles of experimentation: observation, systematization, elaboration of hypothesis, and startegies of comparison. (Text is in…

Valette, Rebecca M. – 1964
Results of a study involving an experimental and a control group of first-semester, college students in a required language course concern the use of the French dictee in the classroom as a testing and teaching technique. Performance on written and oral examinations indicates that dictation practice stimulates awareness of the written language,…

Sjoberg, C.; Trope, B. – 1968
Two methods of teaching a grammatical principle were compared in terms of initial learning results, positive and negative transfer, and retention. Forty-five pairs of sixth grade students, matched by sex and intelligence, formed two experimental groups. Group A was taught the principle and given practice with examples ("conventional" method) while…

Pimsleur, Paul; And Others – 1959
Fourteen research proposals related to the psychology of second-language learning are described in this report. Each project description includes: (1) background and objectives, (2) procedure, (3) duration, (4) personnel recommendations, and (5) budget estimates. Discussion questions center on the areas of language teaching materials, student…

Smith, W. Flint; Littlefield, Lael – 1967
An experiment involving two groups of 193 beginning secondary school students of French, German, and Spanish considers the instructional value of the electronic classroom as an alternative to the conventional language laboratory for the presentation of exercise materials. Experimental design hypotheses state that since more practice is possible…

Lado, Robert; And Others – 1971
The experiments discussed in this report are designed to explore the relationship between language and thought and implications for foreign language learning. Three basic issues are considered: whether or not thought and language are sufficiently distinct to require separate attention and planning as distinct factors in language teaching; the role…

Jenkins, James J. – 1972
The experiments described in this report seek to investigate the characteristics of speech perception using an approach which considers the development of the perception of "voicing," both as it occurs naturally and as it might occur in the laboratory. Investigating voicing discrimination and perception training among adults, infants, and…

Hammerly, Hector – 1969
An analysis of the interrelationship of speaking and reading skills in second language acquisition is the object of an experiment described in this article. The hypothesis tested suggests that written stimuli have a negative influence on the formation of speech habits of beginning students. Objectives, methods, and subject and data selection are…

Lee, Richard R. – 1971
The teaching of dialect modification has been justified by the barrier postulate which says that lower class speech prevents upward social mobility. When translated into a testable hypothesis, the barrier assumption has not been confirmed. The movement called dialect modification did not arise from empirical research in social cognition, but…
