The Baby and the Bathwater or What Immersion Has to Say About Bilingual Education: Teaching and learning in bilingual education—Significant immersion instructional features

After identifying points of divergence between bilingual education programs for minority language children and second language immersion programs for majority language children, the author examines points of mutual relevance between these two educational approaches. In particular, three pedagogical features of immersion programs are discussed as exemplary characteristics of effective second language learning environments: (1) integration of language and academic instruction; (2) negotiated interactional language use; and (3) an intrinsically motivating curriculum of instruction. The implications of each feature for teaching and learning English in bilingual education programs is considered.
