The Paradox of Immersion in a Second Language.
Ho, Kwok K.
NABE: The Journal for the National Association for Bilingual Education, v10 n1 p51-64 Fall 1985
Seventy-four grade 8 pupils in Hong Kong were randomly assigned to an experimental class, with English as the language of instruction, and to a control class, with Chinese as the language of instruction. Pupils in the immersion program were not hindered in academic achievement but did not improve second-language proficiency. (JHZ)
