An immersion bilingual program is an educational approach where students are taught academic subjects in two languages, typically their native language and a second language. The goal of this program is to develop proficiency in both languages, as well as cultural understanding. In an immersion program, students are immersed in the second language and receive instruction in that language for a significant portion of their day. This type of bilingual education is believed to promote bilingualism, bi-literacy, and cross-cultural competency. Immersion programs can take various forms, such as full immersion, partial immersion, or two-way immersion, depending on the amount of time and subjects taught in each language.
