total immersion

a program for second-language acquisition in which all instruction is in the new language and there is minimal use of the individual’s native language. In school-based immersion programs, the second language is incorporated into the teaching of other subjects, with the goal of creating a bilingual classroom. Early immersion refers to programs begun when children are in kindergarten or grade 1 and continued through the rest of elementary school.
