This collection of cutting-edge research into different immersion contexts and student types around the globe - many of which the field has never read about before - will be of interest not only to researchers, but also to parents, teachers, administrators, program evaluators, and community members. Kudos to the editors for a fascinating compilation.
(Kim Potowski, University of Illinois-Chicago)The editors of this timely volume invite readers to ‘dwell in possibility’ as they reflect on the current and future state of immersion education across the globe. While highlighting the continued growth and benefits of a range of immersion programs, this volume effectively addresses the many challenges inherent in teaching languages through content and aptly explores the ‘yet-to-be-realized potential’ of immersion education.
(Roy Lyster, McGill University)Educational research on immersion education offers an important rejoinder to the monolingual bias that still shapes so much educational policy and practice towards bilingual students. Edited by leading international authorities in immersion education, this timely and important volume is a major contribution to the field. It provides a comprehensive and compelling account of the latest developments in immersion education. Its emphasis on policy and pedagogy, along with its international reach, make it a must read for all those interested in improving the educational outcomes of bilingual students.
(Stephen May, University of Auckland)“Immersion Education -- Practices, Policies, Possibilities” is a resource full of interesting material for anybody interested in L2 acquisition. The book offers so many insights into various ways of implementing immersion, some of which have received little attention elsewhere...This is a highly recommended book for anyone interested in the immersion approach to language learning. It opens up new perspectives, and indeed “dwells in possibility” for the future implementation of immersion programs in various shapes.
