[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's effed up is pretending that immersion language instruction works well without a sizeable cohort of native speakers. It doesn't. If you want immersion, you're better off not complaining that native speakers crowd out neighborhood families who aren't native speakers. Signed Native Speaker of Mandarin who recently volunteered at DCI and was shocked by how poorly their "advanced" Chinese track students speak Chinese after up to 10 years of immersion and partial immersion study in DCPC. YuYing's student body is roughly 2% native speakers, while DCI's is about 0%.[/quote] Are YY's teachers native Chinese speakers?[/quote]
