[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So in middle school they do language 1 and 2? That seems odd—you’d think after 6 or 7 years of immersion you’d start in level 3 at least in 7th grade. Does the immersion program just teach vocabulary vs grammar?[/quote] Yep. But the rah-rah immersion crowd will tell you that it's not about the actual language acquisition, it's about the thinking required to acquire the language. Then they will link to studies about the benefits of being bilingual, but native English speakers who do FCPS immersion programs are generally not really bilingual when they leave the program. Ex: https://dana.org/article/the-cognitive-benefits-of-being-bilingual/ [/quote] +1 Finally! Someone speaks the truth!!![/quote]
