- Contents
- For the last 30 years, many European politicians and educationalists have emphasized again and again that due to globalization and ongoing political developments in Europe it is necessary to increase the efficiency of foreign language teaching. A bilingual approach called “immersion education” is described by Wesche (2002, p. 362) as "the most effective means of school second language instruction yet developed for majority language children." The most important characteristic of bilingual approaches such as immersion education or content and language integrated learning (CLIL) is that a foreign language – not the students' first language – is used to teach at least parts of the school curriculum. Detailed research carried out in countries such as Canada, the United States, Finland, Spain, Switzerland, Wales, and Germany has shown that students enrolled in bilingual programs are usually highly successful in acquiring very good foreign language skills without showing any long-term deficits in the development of their first language or in learning subject matter. In Bavaria, bilingual programs are offered at an increasing number of elementary schools, secondary modern schools and grammar schools. In this course, we will first discuss different types and goals of bilingual education. Then we will consider instructional strategies commonly followed in bilingual classrooms and also design bilingual lessons. Finally, we will explore the results of research examining the effectiveness of bilingual programs (implemented in pre-schools/kindergartens, elementary schools, and secondary schools).
