[quote=Anonymous]I can't answer the LCPS piece, but non-immersion students in FCPS are increasingly offered Spanish/French 1A (half of the first year course) in 7th and then 1B (second half of the first year course) in 8th.  The idea being that it gives students a solid foundation to build on in high school language.  Immersion students can move onto the immersion feeder MS and take their language with the immersion students from ES (https://www.fcps.edu/academics/middle-school-academics-7-8/world-languages/middle-school-immersion-transition-program).  Really the program produces some pretty sub-par results in terms of language proficiency.  My kid probably benefited from the type of critical thinking required to learn a new language, but their actual speaking/writing skills in the immersion language (Spanish, in our case) was not exactly head and shoulders above my other kid who didn't do ES immersion. But I know I'm about to get attacked by the super pro-immersion parents on this board.  [/quote]
