| Summary: | This study focuses on determining progress in French of migrant teenagers who come to France previously having never, or very little, attended school (Not at School Previously: NSA). Most of them are illiterate. They have to learn French, discover the educational and cultural context and develop new skills. The aim of this study is to determine the average length of their progress in French while taking into account learning conditions and individual factors which might counterbalance the results. Progress in French is compared to the school record of each pupil. Eight pupils were followed over a period of 3 years and the records of 43 students registered in the type of same special class between 2007 and 2011 were studied. The results reveal that NSA pupils who didn't know French on arrival need at least 2 years to reach the A2 level (as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). However, a pupil whose writing and reading skills are below the A2 level may still succeed in vocational training. |
