美国沉浸式教学及其对中国双语教学的启示

The Immersion Education in America and the Enlightenment on the Bilingual Language Education in China

沉浸式是指用第二语言作为教学语言进行学科教学的一种双语教学模式。沉浸式教学始于加拿大,在美国取得了很大发展。近年来,中国各地纷纷掀起双语教学热潮。然而,我国的双语教学还刚起步,在师资、教材和教学方法等方面还存在不足。借鉴美国沉浸式教学方法,我国双语教学可以通过创设语言环境、制定教学常规、设计详尽的教学计划等措施,切实提高教学质量。

Immersion education is to use the target language to teach different subjects. Immersion education originated in Canada, and has made great progress in the US. In recent years, bilingual education develops fast in China. However, the bilingual languages education in China is just at the beginning period, and faces some challenges, such as the lack of qualified teachers, appropriate text books and good teaching methods. According to the immersion education in America, we can take some measures to improve our bilingual language education. For example： create English environment, make class rules and design good teaching plan.
