Summary
In this chapter, we start with second language learning in school and then progressively move to older learners of foreign languages. Post 8.1 presents a quick review of the way second languages are acquired in the school setting. From a subject taught in a rather formal way, the second language is increasingly becoming a medium of instruction through immersion and dual-language teaching.
Post 8.2 is an interview with Dr. Fabrice Jaumont who has played a leadership role in establishing dual-language programs in the public school system in the New York area. The movement is led from the bottom-up by families who want their children to acquire a second language in a more natural way.
