dc.description.abstract | The present study was set up to investigate into
factors that influence the pupil's ability, at the
primary school level, to acquire sufficient functional
proficiency in the language of instruction and
their effect on performance. The findings of the
investigation would form a basis for recommendations
for both curricular and system changes in the system
then existing with a view to enhancing the pupils'
gain from the system both in qualitative and quantitative
terms.
The four hypotheses upon which the study was
based were that in-school resources, per pupil cost
would significantly promote learning in school and hence
language learning and proficiency; that the social
environment of the child would significantly influence
the direction of the pupil's acquisition of language
proficiency; that the school linguistic environment to
which the children are exposed would significantly influence the acquisition of language proficiency;
and that the residential background of the children
(measured by the Urban/Rural dichotomy) would
significantly influence the acquisition of language
proficiency. | en |
