[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]all languages have to be taught in the target language, otherwise it is not effective. Immersion only refers to frequency which makes it possible for a student to become fluent or not[/quote] No, immersion means two different things. One is a teaching technique, in which the entire class is in the target language, including routine directions etc . . . This is not the only way to teach a language, and at the MS and HS level it's not even the most common. You will often see teachers switch into children's dominant language to explain a grammar concept or give routine directions. People also use immersion to mean schools where all subjects, or half of the day, are in the target language. [/quote]
