Abstract

Foreword: An article in The Modern Language Journal (January 1972) described the Pilot Scheme for the teaching of French in primary schools in England and Wales and showed that this was conceived as a threefold operation: the Department of Education and Science assumed responsibility initially for organising and administering the Scheme and for the in‐service training of teachers, the National Foundation for Educational Research undertook the evaluation of the Pilot Scheme, and the Nuffield Foundation set up a curriculum development Project, the Nuffield Foreign Languages Teaching Materials Project, to produce new materials for teaching French to pupils from the age of 8 in primary schools. This article describes in detail the work of this Project, probably the largest of its kind.
