The Efficiency Of Bilingual Children In Understanding Analogies In The English Language, Veta Walker Mercer

Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies ETDs

It is felt that the bilingual population in the southwest is of significantly large enough proportions to warrant specialized emphasis on its education problems. These children need to become better comprehensive readers, not merely word-callers. Teachers frequently assume that if their pupils recognize the words of selection, comprehension is assured. Unfortunately, this is not true in many instances. There are many aspects of English language which might cause bilingual children some difficulty. A few of these might be the analogy, synonym, homonym, multiple meaning, antonym, and the idiomatic expression. This study is designed to reveal the extent which bilingual children …

The Relationship Between Bilingualism And Verbal Test Performance, Donald Fred Mead

Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies ETDs

It is the principal purpose of the present study to investigate the relationship between bilingualism as measure by an objectively oriented scale, the Hoffman Bilingual Schedule, and test performances with a comparatively new vocabulary instrument which merely requires the subject to point in response to the spoken word. The Latter is the Ammons Full-Range Picture Vocabulary Test. A secondary purpose is to establish tentative Spanish Norms for 17,18, and 19 year-olds for the Ammons test.

A Comparative Study Of The Mexican-Indian Students In The Carbon County Schools, John C. Winn

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Often expressed claims which amounted to a general belief among many of the administrators of the schools of Carbon County were the stimulus for this study. The claims generally expressed were that the Mexican-Indian students of the schools did not have as good ability, did not achieve as well, were poorer attenders, caused a larger amount of difficulty and delinquency and did not adjust to the school society as well proportionately as their co-students of other nationalities. It was stated that while many nationality groups were represented in the school population, that other groups were oriented, assimilated and amalgamated into …

The History And Trends Of Indian Education In New Mexico Under The Administration Of Federal And State Governments, William Moyer Hemsing

Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies ETDs

As this study shall show, coordinated state, federal, and Indian planning can greatly accelerate the transition from federal to state control of Indian education. Such planning cannot proceed without public support, as mentioned above, based upon a real understanding of these complex, two-way acculturation problems, and their inseparable relationship to the life or death struggle between democracy and communism throughout the world.

A Study Of The Spanish-American Normal School At El Rito, Carl Robert Jensen

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The Spanish-American Normal School, a state institution located in Rio Arriba County, is a school in which the population of the state should be greatly interested, but aside from the meager information available in the yearly budget there is very little to be learned, expect by personal contact, about the school.

It is the purpose of this survey (1) to study those factors which surround the school, affecting it and even to some extent determining the purposes of the school; (2) to examine the internal structure of the school; and (3) to recommend such changes in the internal structure as …

Teaching First Grade Language, Dorthy Jennings

Theses

The Problem of this thesis is to discover suitable content and method for teaching oral language to a group of low first grade children. There was a two-fold reason for this choice; first, there is a great need for research into oral language techniques and second, the oral language situation is very difficult where there is a mixed group of Mexican and American children.

Education Of The American Indian By The United States, Florence Barbee Lundquist

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

But for the Rennaisance there would be no atory of the Indians in these United States. Our American poet, Joaquin Miller, makes clear the hazards of adventurers incident to the discovery of an unknown people: My men grow mutinous day by day; My men grow ghastly wan and weak. The stout mate thought of home; a spray Of Balt wave washed his swarthy cheek. "What shall I say, • brave Admiral, say, If we sight naught but seas at dawn?" "Why you shall, say at break of day, Sail on! Sail on.

The Prime Aim Of Teaching Latin Should Be For Its Cultural Value Rather Than The Correlative Or Disciplinary Values, Xavier University Of Louisiana

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In choosing subjects of this nature there are certain causes or reasons which influence such a choice. In this case it is not my purpose to offer a defense for the study of Latin as an educational subject, nor is it my purpose to propose a special method of presenting Latin as to make it a more attractive part of the curriculum. I am influenced principally by the fact that among educators and Latin teachers themselves there is a widespread divergence of opinion as to what ought to be aims of teaching Latin.
