I have a suggestion that might improve communication among
language educators as well as communication between language educators and the
public.
For language education professionals, the term “immersion”
usually means subject-matter instruction through a second language, with
efforts made to make sure the language used is comprehensible to students. For
the public, however, “immersion” generally means “submersion,” surrounding
yourself with the target language, whether comprehensible or not. I suggest we
simply stop using the term “immersion.”
“Dual language” is used in two ways: It could mean “bilingual
education” in general or it could mean a specific program known as “two-way”
bilingual education. I suggest we avoid
confusion by dropping the term “dual language” and using either “bilingual education”
or “two-way bilingual education.”
And please, let’s avoid creative but even more confusing
terminology such as “dual immersion” and
“bilingual immersion.”

This way my friend Wesley Virgin's biography begins with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL video.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he found hidden, "self mind control" secrets that the government and others used to get everything they want.
THESE are the exact same tactics lots of celebrities (notably those who "come out of nowhere") and elite business people used to become rich and famous.
You've heard that you use less than 10% of your brain.
That's mostly because the majority of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.
Maybe that expression has even occurred IN YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head around 7 years ago, while riding an unregistered, beat-up trash bucket of a vehicle without a license and with $3 in his pocket.
"I'm absolutely fed up with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I finally succeed?"
You've taken part in those thoughts, right?
Your success story is waiting to happen. Go and take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
