SUMMARY:Language Outcomes in a Japanese-English Dual Language 
 Program in the U.S.
ORGANIZER;CN="Main Hall Forum":
 about:blank
DESCRIPTION:
 This talk provides an overview of dual language 
 immersion in the U.S., with a focus on two-way 
 immersion (TWI) programs. In TWI programs, a balanced 
 number of students from each target language group 
 are enrolled in a class, allowing for greater 
 exposure to the second language through peer interaction 
 compared to one-way immersion programs. This study 
 examines how elementary school children in a Japanese-English 
 TWI program in the U.S. develop their speaking 
 skills, as measured by the ACTFL Assessment of 
 Performance toward Proficiency in Languages (AAPPL), 
 and their pronunciation accuracy, assessed through 
 acoustic analysis (i.e., voice onset time).\n

 This is a diversity-related event.\n\n
