Title: Chinese Language Immersion Design 101
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/global_learning/2013/10/chinese_language_immersion_design_101.html Chinese Language Immersion Design 101 by Myriam Met and Chris Livaccari October 10, 2013 Designing a language immersion program requires a level of commitment on the part of the administration, teachers, students, and parents that is far beyond that of many other types of instructional programs. In making the decision of whether and how to begin an immersion program, it is critical to consider a number of key questions and to clarify the purposes and goals of the program, the student population who will be served, and how the program aligns with other programs within the school or school district.
