中學西班牙語沉浸式課程：語言藝術與詞彙

Taught by certified educators and fluent Spanish/English speakers, this is a full dual immersion curriculum that will cover middle school common core standards. Due to the fact that this is an ongoing course, students can join at any time. No prior knowledge is required. 

This two-way dual immersion course is designed for both native Spanish and English speakers and will be taught in both languages 50-50. 

"Two-way immersion (TWI) is a distinctive form of dual language education in which balanced numbers of native English speakers and native speakers of the partner language are integrated for instruction so that both groups of students serve in the role of language model and language learner at different times." -Center for Applied Linguistics
