Language immersion is an approach to foreign language
instruction in which the usual curricular activities are conducted in a
foreign language. This means that the new language is the medium of
instruction as well as the object of instruction. Immersion students acquire
the necessary language skills to understand and communicate about the subject
matter set out in the school's program of instruction. They follow the same
curricula, and in some instances, use the same materials (translated into the
target language) as those used in the non-immersion schools of their
district.
