Off to an Early Start. A Virginia School Immerses 1st Graders in Japanese.

Williams, Sharon K.

Teacher Magazine, v3 n1 p24-25 Sep 1991

Describes a Japanese language immersion program in a first grade class in Virginia. Participating students spend half their day learning math, science, and health from a teacher who speaks to them only in Japanese. Though there is some controversy, the program works well, with students excelling in all subjects. (SM)
