[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In India, students learn English via one-way.  In Japan, students learn English via one-way.  In South Korea, students learn English via one-way.  In Finland, students learn English via one-way.  In Germany, students learn English via one-way.  In the Czech Republic, students learn English via one-way.  All over Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa, students learn English via one-way instruction.  And millions of it learn it very well.  Some of them learn it well enough to take your job.

Obviously.  Obviously language can be very successfully learned via one-way instruction.

The YY kids are fortunate that they're being taught by native speakers, which is an advantage that most language-learners don't have.  But if you think it's necessary to recruit Cantonese kids to Yu Ying in order for language instruction to be successful, then you're willfully delusional and you overvalue your snowflake's potential benefit to the class.  The school and the students will continue to thrive and be well educated without the Cantonese snowflakes.[/quote]

Someone who learns via one-way immersion, is at a disadvantage to someone who learned the target language via two-way immersion; all other things being equal.  I'm not saying they won't learn anything via one-way...just not as well.[/quote]
