N2  - "For many years French Immersion programs were thought to be the most effective way of producing bilingual speakers. In this book, Hector Hammerly shows that because French Immersion is based on incorrect assumptions about second language learning in the classroom, it is not producing bilinguals but speakers of English and "French", a mixture of French and English with frequent errors of the most basic kind. Dr. Hammerly discusses the immersion phenomenon in detail, explains why immersion does not and cannot work well in the classroom and proposes a better classroom road to bilingualism." (Back cover)
