本文是一项研究报告，旨在调查魁北克小学实验强化 ESL 课程中法语儿童的第二语言发展。还调查了课堂互动模式以及学习者对英语的接触和态度。强化课程的学习者与同一年级的常规 ESL 课程的学习者以及在较长时间内接受过相当小时数教学的学习者进行了比较。结果表明，强化课程的学习者在听力和阅读理解以及口语流利度测试方面均优于对照组。此外，尽管常规课程和强化课程的学习者在接受教学前都很少接触英语，但强化课程的学习者在接受教学后却表示接触较多。他们对英语的态度也比普通课程的学习者更积极。
This paper is a report on a study designed to investigate the second language development of francophone children in experimental intensive ESL programmes in Quebec primary schools. Classroom interaction patterns and learners' contact with and attitudes toward English were also investigated. Learners in the intensive programmes were compared with learners in regular ESL programmes at the same grade level, as well as with learners who had received a comparable number of hours of instruction spread over a longer period of time. The results indicated that the intensive programme learners outperformed both comparison groups on tests of listening and reading comprehension and in oral fluency. In addition, although both regular and intensive programme learners were found to have very little contact with English prior to instruction, the intensive programme learners indicated somewhat greater contact after instruction. They also held more positive attitudes toward English than did the regular programme learners.
