Please join us for the Woodland or Davis screening of Immersion: A short fictional film about a recent immigrant child struggling in an English-only classroom.
Synopsis:“Immersion” shows a bright boy who, through no fault of his own, is sinking in the classroom at the hands of California’s “structured English immersion” policy. The film’s intent is to spark a conversation about educating immigrant children. The film also gives people, who may have no experience with the struggles of learning another language, an insight into how daunting this process can be. A panel discussion will immediately follow the film’s showing. Included in the panel will be the film’s director and other experts on this topic.
