Dual Immersion Introduction
This document provides an overview of a virtual dual immersion project for teachers and students. The project allows students to have conversations in both English and Spanish through video calls. It aims to provide benefits like improved language skills and intercultural understanding. Teachers coordinate conversation partners and lesson plans. Students participate in scheduled video calls, switching between the two languages, and complete reflection activities. Technical troubleshooting tips are included in case of issues during calls. Links to additional resources on the project are also listed.
