The authors studied the oral and written language level of children attending the fourth year of Primary school in Castilian, Catalan, French, Italian and Portuguese. With this purpose in mind, they collected, for each language, the narratives (oral and written) of 60 children belonging to whole classes and constituting representative samples, in Barcelona, Paris, Turin and Porto.

The authors' purpose in this paper is to compare the spelling of the written performances of 180 children of the 4th school year (60 from London, 60 from Paris and 60 from Porto, belonging to whole classes in each country), obtained from two cartoons which the children were asked to describe individually. The first finding concerns the percentage of errors made. For an average of 94 words, the English pupils ma...

The authors studied the structures and vocabulary, as well as their uses, in stories told by children of the fourth year in of Portuguese and French primary schools. A «dictionary» of the words used in the stories was also organised.
The comparative study of speech in different European languages led to the comparison of verbal production by children of the same level at school (4th. year primary). The study shows itself to be the starting point not only for the education of the difficulties which might be met in different languages, but also for the organization of means for an equivilance of success in the Europe of 1992.
In this article the method of language evaluation developed by A. Girolami-Boulinier is used in six European countries for pupils of the fourth class at Primary School. Two stories were told from pictures which were then written by all the pupils: results demonstrate that the level of language is nearly the same in the six countries. It is therefore apparent that children who have reached a given level are easi...
