Résumé

During the past two years an attempt has been made to explore two kinds of language factors, non-English and non-standard English, in relation to pupil achievement in a rural sector of Northeastern Alberta. The non-English factor refers to the situation where some language other than English is spoken by the learner in his home or in his community. The non-standard English factor, derived primarily from the linguistic social learning theory of Bernstein, refers to the situation where a pupil does not use accurate "middle class" English, which presumably the teacher uses, but rather a non-standard English of the "lower class," of unskilled workers or of teen-agers who have their own speech patterns.
