The document discusses the benefits and realities of language immersion education. It begins by outlining common myths about immersion, such as students becoming fully bilingual by 5th grade or learning a second language negatively impacting English development. It then discusses factors that influence second language acquisition and provides evidence that academic instruction in a student's home language does not interfere with English learning and leads to higher academic achievement overall. The document aims to provide parents a realistic understanding of immersion education while emphasizing its cognitive, academic and social benefits.

This series of parent meetings are titled “Demystifying Immersion Education.” Some of you may be wondering how these children, being as young as 5 years old, start developing a second language while we adults struggle to remember only few words in another language? What is really happening in these so-called Spanish/Japanese “immersion” classrooms? Well, today, it is my intention to show you that how your child learns a second language in one of these classrooms is not mystery, but it is the result of a very effective bilingual teaching method called language immersion.
