[quote=Anonymous]when (at least one poster mentions immersion - you really mean dual language, right? Where two-three classes are taught in the target language, not where your day is all-target language. Immersion to me is "recess chatter is English, education is in target language." Dual language is available; in middle school (MacFarland) it's several classes and not your whole day. My child had it for 1-2 classes each semester. That's fine. If it were for me - I was and am a language nerd - I would love to have gone to a school where target language is the full-up no alternative language of instruction. I think those are relatively rare and specialized, though I believe more common in other countries where, for example, English fluency is a target or students are encouraged to learn a 'national language' that's not the lingua franca where they live.[/quote]
