贫穷和弱势群体的教育，特别是少数群体群体的教育，一直是发达国家和发展中国家教育系统面临的长期挑战。少数民族学生表现不佳的一个原因可能是在更广泛的沟通语言(LWC)方面能力较低。本文通过对57所学校(26所治疗学校和31所对照学校)的随机实地实验，考察了LWC学习计划对LWC能力有限的学生的整体学习成绩(和其他结果)的影响。这是一个计算机辅助学习程序，教西北农村少数民族学生中国普通话技能。结果表明，这一LWC增强计划不仅使学生普通话科目的考试成绩提高了0.14-0.20个标准差，而且可能通过提高语言能力，使学生的数学考试成绩提高了0.22-0.23个标准差。它对学生学习普通话的自我效能感等非学业成绩也有积极的影响。表现不佳的学生从该计划中受益更多。
The education of poor and disadvantaged populations, particularly those from minority subgroups, has been a long-standing challenge to education systems in both developed and developing countries. One reason for the underperformance of ethnic minority students might be low competency in the language of wider communication (LWC). This article uses a randomized field experiment in 57 schools (26 treatment schools and 31 control schools) to examine the impact of an LWC learning program on the overall academic performance (and other outcomes) of students who have limited competency in the LWC. This is a computer assisted learning program that teaches rural ethnic minority students in northwestern China Mandarin skills. Results show that this LWC-enhancing program not only improves the student test scores on the Mandarin language subject by 0.14–0.20 standard deviations but also improves the student math test scores by 0.22–0.23 standard deviations, possibly via improved language competency. It also has some positive effects on student nonacademic outcomes such as self-efficacy in studying Mandarin. Low-performing students benefit more from the program.
