Abstract

In the last years, the number of all-day schools has increased in Germany. This development has, among other things, been linked with the aim to enhance the chances of academic success for students who for the time being seem to be disadvantaged, for example foreign language students. Against this background, in this paper, we empirically investigate how attendance of all-day schools relates to second grade foreign language students’ reading achievement in German as one indicator of academic achievement. Data from a representative German sample (National Educational Panel Study) including 6199 students in primary school is analyzed. Contrary to the assumption, the analysis shows that attendance of allday schools has no positive effect on second grade foreign language students’ reading achievement. Our findings suggest that not only the time spent in the German-speaking environment of the school makes a difference, but rather the quality of all-day schools needs to be considered when expecting compensatory effects.
