What is Language Immersion?
Language immersion is an educational model in which students learn the core curriculum in a second language, often referred to as a target language. All of the traditional subjects taught by a monolingual school—a school where only one language is spoken—such as language arts, math, social studies, and the humanities are taught in the target language.
