The wide range of languages and purposes now served by immersion worldwide is illustrated by case studies of thirteen programs. Immersion, a relatively new approach to bilingual education, originated in Canada.
It uses the target language as a medium of instruction in order to achieve "additive bilingualism" -- a high level of second language proficiency.
