Based on the results for both tests; the Vocabulary Size Test (VST) and the Comparative Adjective Test (CAT), those from DLP group scored higher compared to students from non-DLP group. 2018-10 Conference or Workshop Item NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/68789/1/Ramli%20%26%20Lotfie%202018%20ICLCS%20%2718.pdf application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/68789/12/68789_Effects%20of%20Dual-Language%20Programme%20%28DLP%29%20-tentative.pdf Ramli, Rashida Nasuha and Lotfie, Maskanah Mohammad (2018) Effects of Dual-Language Programme (DLP) on the usage of English adjectives by primary school students.
