Resumen de Mastery Learning in Modern Languages ‐ a Case Study
B.L. Parkinson, R.F. Mitchell, R.M. Johnstone
Five teachers of French in first year classes, using a package of mastery learning materials devised by the researchers, were followed through two units of instruction (approximately ten weeks). This paper describes the materials used, and the data collected by systematic lesson observation, by analysis of test results and by interviews with the teachers, and offers tentative conclusions on the effectiveness of mastery learning as a strategy for foreign language teaching in the Scottish school context.
