Chalk Talk: The Benefits of a Language Immersion Program
Language immersion programs provide all necessary instruction to students primarily in another language. Students will learn math, science, social studies, English language arts, and electives in an environment where the foreign language is spoken about 90 percent of the time. This trend continues throughout elementary school but begins to taper off in middle and high school, where English and the foreign language are used in a blended atmosphere. Instruction consists of cultural practices, language principles, and required core curricular education. The benefits of such programs are immense. Students typically become fluent in both languages, before entering the secondary level. Many students in these programs out-perform students not in the program on state English language arts exams. Students, who may discontinue the immersion program, will most likely have an easier time learning other languages and continuing to learn the original language. Cultural awareness and experiences will add a rich dynamic to the students’ learning experiences. Although such programs are not well suited for every learner, parents contemplating the use of such programs will most likely receive for their children a promising educational experience.
