- Summary:
-
The report summarizes findings of a pilot study of 1985 graduates of bilingual high school programs at the University of Ottawa and Carleton, Queen's, and McGill Universities. Data on French language proficiency, attitudes toward the French language, and current patterns of French use at the universities are compared for early and late immersion students and for two of the universities' samples. A major objective of the study was to develop and refine a methodology and battery of instruments for postsecondary followup studies of immersion graduates for use throughout Canada. Procedures and instruments for tracing and locating subjects, measurement and self-evaluation of French proficiency, and archival data-gathering in the postsecondary institutions are described. A secondary objective was to describe postsecondary institutional response to the growing clientele of bilingual anglophone students, including French language course offerings, opportunities to use French, and institutional support and recognition of French language activity. The report includes a proposal for continuation of the followup of the pilot group and a later cohort. (Author/MSE)
