Katy Arnett, professor of educational studies at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, has co-authored the article “Core or Immersion? Canadian French-Second-Language Teacher Candidates’ Perceptions and Experiences of the Best and Worst Program Options for Students with Learning Difficulties and for English Language Learners.” Co-authored with Callie Mady from Nipissing University, Canada, the article was recently published in the journal “Exceptionality Education International.”
Drawing on quantitative and qualitative data from interview questionnaires and volunteers, the study explores how participants viewed the best and worst Canadian French Second Language (FSL) education program options for students who had learning difficulties or who were English language learners, and to see the extent to which these views could be linked to their practicum experience.
