[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Columbia Heights Educational Campus. http://checdc.org/[/quote] This. I would not recommended an immersion program. Immersion programs are generally for kids who have a solid foundation in English and are native English speakers learning another language.[/quote] this is just not true. take a look at Center for Applied Linguistics research and documentation on the benefits of immersion programs for native language speakers. [/quote] This is a 10 yr old 5th grader with limited English. OP does not say if this is someone who immigrated from another country who is at grade level in Spanish, ie a native language speaker. At this age, they should be looking at ESOL - learning English. As useful as Spanish maybe as a second language in the US, you won't get anywhere without knowing English.[/quote]
