Title: Article: Language Immersion Has Many Meanings
Body: From http://www.star-telegram.com/national_news/story/335111.html Language immersion has many meanings By VALERIE STRAUSS December 1, 2007 Language immersion programs started more than 30 years ago, most focusing on Spanish. According to the nonprofit Center for Applied Linguistics, three public schools had one immersion class each in 1971. Last year, there were 263 in 83 schools. The classes "immerse" students in a language through academic subjects, rather than using traditional methods that emphasize vocabulary and grammar and often fail to produce proficiency. But there's disagreement among educators on what immersion is. "Immersion can mean many things to different people in the field," said Elena Izquierdo, vice president of the nonprofit National Association for Bilingual Education based in Washington, D.C., and a professor at the University of Texas at El Paso. "For some, immersion is total immersion, for others it is partial, and some people call one class in foreign language an immersion class." Read the interview with Izquierdo at http://www.star-telegram.com/national_news/story/335111.html .
