| Abstract | Globalization has led to unprecedented interest in expanding foreign language instruction in U.S. schools, particularly at grade levels where traditionally it has not been an option. Languages that previously have been rarely taught, such as Chinese, are frequently the choice of new programs at every level in the K-12 range. As No Child Left Behind has become a familiar refrain in schools, few have noticed that the United States is already far behind the rest of the world in preparing students for their responsibilities as global citizens. In fact, bilingualism and multilingualism are more the norm than the exception throughout the rest of the world. The author talks about elementary-level foreign language program models that help create global citizens. One of the program models is an immersion program, where students spend at least one-half of the school day learning the school curriculum through the target language. (ERIC). |
