Research Statement:
Dual Immersion Education and its methodologies, although has limitations, are beneficial and effective for second language learners.
Second Language Learners are individuals who are in the process of learning another language other than their primary language. We are interested in learning how Dual Immersion Programs affect test scores, how many schools use it, and how Dual Immersion affects classrooms, teachers, and the learning process of students. We expect to learn that Dual Immersion Education is beneficial to students in aiding their understanding and test scores with research supporting our assumption.
Dual-immersion incorporates native speakers of the two target languages and through interaction these individuals can learn from each other. Therefore, through this practice, students are involved in a more natural language acquisition process. Students of these programs not only learn another language but gain insight and a greater understanding of heritage and culture that is outside of their own.
Research Question: Are dual-immersion programs successful, how are they effective, and what are the over arching goals, limitations, and benefits to this type of education?
