The State of Mandarin Immersion in the United States: June 2019

https://archive.vn/TJn9i

 

While Mandarin immersion programs (MIPs) in the United States have experienced rapid growth since the first one was founded in1981,

there exists no official list of Mandarin immersion programs nationwide. I include here only schools that fit the definition of immersion set forth

by the Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA) at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis: Instruction takes place in

the target language (i.e. Mandarin) for at least 50% of the school day during the elementary school years. In middle school, there should be at

least one subject matter course taught in Mandarin. In high school, there should be at least some type of continuation course that offers

Mandarin at the appropriate level for students who have been immersed in the language for ten years.

 

When a program appears to be in flux, I try to give it the benefit of the doubt and keep it on the list even if itโ€™s not clear that true immersion is

being offered. However some schools have shifted to a FLES (Foreign Language in Elementary School) model rather than teaching subject in

Mandarin, and those I remove from the list when that change occurs.

 

Might be dig worthy for all 306 schools
