• L'Immersione linguistica (dall'inglese Language immersion) è un approccio sviluppato sin dagli anni sessanta per potenziare l'insegnamento/apprendimento di una seconda lingua (L2) utilizzandola come veicolo[1] per l'apprendimento di altri contenuti. Nelle scuole che usano l'"immersione linguistica"[2], una o più discipline vengono apprese impiegando una seconda lingua target, diversa da quella materna deglistudenti. Gli studenti, sulla base di uno specifico progetto educativo vengono quindi "immersi" nella L2 e la utilizzano sia per apprendere le scienze, la storia, la geografia e/o altre discipline che per seguire percorsi educativi anche interdisciplinari. Il termine CLIL (Content and Language IntegratedLearning), creato nel 1994, è sinonimo di immersione linguistica.

• Language immersion, or simply immersion, is a method of teaching a second language in which the learners’ second language (L2) is the medium of classroom instruction. Through this method, learners study school subjects, such as math, science, and social studies, in their L2. The main purpose of this method is to foster bilingualism, in other words, to develop learners' communicative competence or language proficiency in their L2 in addition to their first or native language (L1). Additional goals are the cognitive advantages to bilingualism.

• Immersion programs vary from one country or region to another because of language conflict, historical antecedents, language policy or public opinion. Moreover, immersion programs take on different formats based on: class time spent in L2, participation by native speaking (L1) students, learner age, school subjects taught in L2, and even the L2 itself as an additional and separate subject.

Dear class 2,

Please can you help me? My name is Drogone and I am a monster from Italy. I need to plan a party for some of the other monsters but I am not very good at maths. There will be 6 monsters at the party.

Each monster will need the following:

2 sandwiches

3 cakes

5 worms

4 sausages

6 packets of crisps.

Please can you help me work out how many of each I need?

I have heard that some of you are very good at maths so wondered of you could also work out how much it will all cost?

1 sandwich is 50p

1 cake is 20p

1 worm is 5p

1 sausage is £1.00

1 packet of crisps is 10p

So once you have worked out how many of each food I need can you work out how much it will cost.

As I am not very good at maths could you show me how you have worked it all out?

Good lunch monsters.
