The Bullock Report (1975) was the first to acknowledge that to lose one's first language is to lose one's culture and identity: 'No child should be expected to cast off the language and culture of the home as she crosses the school threshold, and the curriculum should reflect that part of his life' (Bullock 1975, p. 286). The Committee recommended changes in objectives, curricula home and methodology in language education.
