c. students choose the language in which they want to be taught
d. students are taught in English and given a copy of all materials in Spanish

Answer 1

Answer:

A. students learning Spanish are taught in Spanish.

Explanation:

In language acquisition theory, full or total immersion means that a particular language that you are learning is used throughout the lesson for everything. This means that if you are taking lessons in math through the full immersion program, you will learn in not in your native language, but rather in the language you are trying to learn (in this case, Spanish).

The other options refer to partial or two-way immersion, rather than full immersion.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is: A. Spanish learning students are taught in Spanish.

Explanation:

Linguistic or educational immersion is intensive exposure to a second language, living in a community that speaks it regularly, in order to learn it more quickly and thus achieve the bilingualism of the learners.

The primary objective of language immersion is always to intensify language learning and achieve, in the shortest possible time, the maximum knowledge and communication skills in the language learned. It is, therefore, a set of intensively applied learning strategies to facilitate students the acquisition of a second or third language.

However, California does have a law in place that allows for full - immersion education rather than bilingual education. This means that students who are learning the Spanish language in California could take a class in which all instruction is delivered in Spanish, rather than English.  

The answer is: A. Spanish learning students are taught in Spanish.
