LANGUAGE is the vehicle to take us to the destination

Immersion Protocols

1. High ratio of native speakers to teachers will provide maximum Comprehensible Input.

– Use the target language as much as possible

2. Teachers will engage in cultural learning experiences while listening in a world language.

– Teachers may experience some initial discomfort

– Focus is on building listening skills (not speaking)

Immersion Protocols

• This contextual support, along with the repetition of key words will help the students create meaning.– Facilitators should support UNDERSTANDING

through gestures, slower speech, repetition

• Teachers will further engage with the world language through a variety of interactive activities designed to promote student choice.– Teachers are allowed to process the information

in English, ask for clarification etc.

Strategy Session Protocols

• Be a “Learner” with the group

• Join in small group discussion (English ok)

• Help the presenter/mentor facilitate activities

• Engage with the school teams to provide cultural insights
