Integration from a language unit: a qualitative study

Abstract

Very little research has followed up children who have attended language units. This study used a qualitative method both to explore the process of integration for four children who transferred from a language unit to their local schools and to consider the way these children were functioning a year later. Issues arising from the research included planning of integration, sharing of information and skills, parental involvement, the role of the language unit, and some possible directions for future research.
