[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did that plan to have other languages fall flat for Arlington? I know there were some people asking for French. I'd love to see German or Chinese. [/quote] I don't think it was a plan, rather it was a petition that didn't really take off. I've heard rumblings about a third Spanish immersion in the near future, since there are so many native Spanish speakers and there's some research that shows dual language immersion benefits ESL kids quite a bit if one of the languages is their native language (as well as being a draw for English dominant students). But German/Chinese immersion programs are not likely since we don't have that many native speakers. Other than Spanish, French would probably be the most likely as I think that may be a more common native language of current Arlington residents. [/quote]
