Students learn basic elementary school curriculum even though their teachers only speak to them in the language they are learning, not in English.Readers are encouraged to explore the goals, challenges, successes and lifetime benefits of immersion education through stories and statements gained through the survey of hundreds of former students, parents, and educators. The author helps us understand how immersion education not only offers students fluency in both English and a second language but also develops global and cultural understanding that positively impacts students as they launch into the world. Dr. Mellgren has over 40 years of experience in education with most of that time spent working with immersion programs as teacher, parent, administrator, researcher, consultant, and advocate. She shares from those varying perspectives to give insight into the full immersion spectrum. This guide provides information to help the decision-making process prior to entering an immersion program and then continues with insight into the first year of school, development through the elementary grades, and the transitions and in middle and high school. Experiences shared by students and parents encompass kindergarten through high school graduation, as well as the entire family's lifestyle. Discover tips for helping with schoolwork, assisting struggling learners, and participating fully in the immersion school experience.Immersion education becomes a gift to a child that lasts a lifetime. It impacts everything about a child's personal growth-brain development, social skills, academic advantages, and acceptance of individual differences. Young immersion students become adults who are adaptable and successful in an ever-increasing global world where understanding and relating to others is critical. This book will help you understand the language immersion concept, guide you in enrolling in a program, and then assist you in navigating the path through the language immersion life.
