Gaies, Stephen J. – 1976
Landes (1975) reviewed research studying adult-child linguistic interactions.

Roussel, F. – 1972
Progress in the teaching of oral comprehension depends partly on the isolation of factors which block comprehension.

A…

Kachru, Yamuna – 1975
In this paper, an attempt is made to explicate the notion "equivalence" in contrastive analysis. It has been suggested that a learner formulates successive hypotheses about the nature of the target language at least partially on the basis of his knowledge of the native language. A deep contrastive study of the two language systems will…
