The graded school is organized on the basis of age and group expectation, and prescribes curriculum which equates with grade level requirements rather than ability.

Child Language: Topicalization And Nominal-Pronominal Reduplication As A Function Of Language Universals, Language Development, And Language Situation, Eleanor Greet Cotton

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Nominal-pronominal reduplication, a frequently mentioned but seldom studied linguistic phenomenon often associated with lower class and minority group speech, is in actuality not a rarity but quite common in language worldwide. This phenomenon, exemplified by structures such as "My brother, he plays football" and "He plays football, my brother," exists in child language as a function of language universals, language development, and language situation.

Problems Of Assessing Bilingualism In Children Entering School., John Wesley Hollomon

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Recently, much emphasis has been placed on bilingual education, but little has been placed on the problems inherent in the assessment of the bilingual communicative competence of children at the time they enter school. It was often assumed that, because a Spanish surnamed child came from a home in which either or both parents spoke to him in Spanish, he entered school speaking both Spanish and English, perhaps, more Spanish than English. Since the causes and effects of bilingual schooling are to be found outside the school, it was important to take these into consideration. The extent to which the …
