(1972). Social Studies as Social Anthropology: A Model for ESL Curricula. This paper describes a program of cultural education designed for elementary school children in a bilingual setting. The author argues that only through the study of other cultures can the child who enters the Anglo-American school system from a non-Anglo background appreciate fully the relationship between his culture and the dominant culture, and understand his place within the two cultures. The program suggested presents nine units, each one on the study of a particular culture. The cultures to be studied represent a wide variety of types selected for diversity in population size, language, subsistence, race, climate, and geography. The life of the child is considered in each culture. Each culture is studied objectively as an entity, without reference to or measurement against a master culture. Unit 10 provides a chance for the child to see differences and similarities among the cultures by classifying the children from the nine cultures in terms of the way they live. Different classification criteria produce various groupings, underlining a variety of differences and similarities.

(1970). A Cumulative Summary of the Three Years of the Sustained Primary Program for Bilingual Students, 1967-1970. In this report of the final evaluation of the Las Cruces (New Mexico) Sustained Primary Program for Bilingual Students (funded under Title III of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act), the major findings for the academic years of 1967-8, 68-9, and 69-70 are cited following a program description in terms of schools, students, teachers, class size, classrooms and treatments, and objectives for each year. As reported, K-3 bilingual children in 4 public elementary schools that tended to be homogeneous with regard to the children's cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds were placed in 1 of 3 instructional settings: (1) an experimental English program where only English was used as an instructional language, (2) an experimental Spanish/English program where both languages were used, and (3) a control program. The report discusses the program's effectiveness in terms of such factors as Spanish vs. English instruction, children's intellectual development and self-concept, parental involvement, and the children's bicultural interaction. Although "results of the K-3 experiment still are…inconclusive," it is indicated that the program is providing"…a very valuable set of learning experiences in both the cognitive and affective domains." Also included in the report is a post-program evaluation, completed in the fall of 1970, to examine the effectiveness of the summer session experience as measured by the Metropolitan Achievement Test; 10 tables summarize the significant differences and the analyses proper, which indicate that the summer sessions appear to have a beneficial effect on achievement.

(1971). A Chocktaw Orthography. This paper describes a system for Choctaw orthography and discusses the principles and rules that can be used to govern the spelling system for the language. The orthography system is based on a study of documents written by comtemporary Chocktaws. The system proposed here seeks to be as accurate a representation of the spoken language as possible while providing a more or less uniform spelling for each morpheme; the vowel and consonant systems are discussed. Where both these conditions cannot be met, the criterion of accurate representation is preferred. The overriding consideration is to achieve a spelling system that is acceptable to a speaker of Choctaw and easy for him to learn, essentially a phoneme system. A sample text with translation is included. For a related document on Choctaw morphology, see FL 002 865. Descriptors: Alphabets, American Indian Languages, American Indians, Bilingual Education
