What eventual effect does an immersion program have on children’s verbal and math skills in English?
Although there are certain lags in English language arts for the first few years of the program, children tend to make up these lags after formal English instruction is introduced. In addition, the research on this question is both voluminous and unequivocal: studies have consistently shown that by the end of the elementary grades, immersion students generally perform as well as and may even surpass comparable non-immersion students on measures in English of verbal and mathematical skills.
