Over the past year and a
half a group of PSI parents have produced
a documentary that explores the method of foreign language immersion
education in America. We went into the PSI classrooms to document
how language is acquired through the immersion experience. The
video uses interviews with PSI students, their parents and PSI
staff to demonstrate its success and tell the story behind this
increasingly
popular form of language education.
This 18 minute action packed
film can be used as a way to introduce Immersion to new, incoming
parents as well as help in the preparation and writing of grant
submissions. It covers school and district research on Immersion
and can be a fundamental presentation tool on Immersion Education
that can be used in both formal and informal settings. And since
the information is universal to all Immersion programs, anyone who
is interested in this form of foreign language study will benefit
from it.
The makers of this video wish
to graciously thank the collaboration
of the PSI Site Council, and the PSI PTO for their support
throughout this process.
The talent featured on this
video is YOU! The cast is made up entirely of teachers, administrators,
parents and students. The subject, which is
close to all of our hearts, was made with loving care, great pride
and
full appreciation for the goals of immersion education. |
