Immersion Principles in Second Language Programs--Research and Policy in Multicultural Australia.

Clyne, Michael

Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v12 n1-2 p55-65 1991

Focuses on the setting up and evaluation of a primary school German program in Melbourne using modified immersion principles. During the evaluation, this program was compared to a more traditional second-language program and one in which immersion principles operated to a lesser extent. How the evaluation was able to contribute to policy is discussed. (17 references) (JL)
