Controversies over immersion in English In recent years, people have expressed their views on the concept of bilingual education and I strongly believe that this is the reason for student failure. Therefore, in 1998 California changed the law and allowed enough children to teach only English as they had encountered frustration because there were not enough children to get knowledge of working in English (Tapia, 2000 ). Through observation, many people concluded that English immersion is more effective than bilingual education and that the law will succeed.
One of the biggest controversies faced by schools and state lawmakers is discussion between immersive and bilingual education. The ESL approach is often used in the United States, but since many ESL supporters do not need to learn English, they are beginning to follow new immersive trends. The immersive way of teaching students focuses on teaching English for a certain period of time (eg, 1st grade). After learning English well for their understanding, after having the opportunity to actually learn English
Bilingual education is not generally the purpose of the ESL program. In Asylum Speaking or Structured Immersion Class, LEP students teach in English (using gestures and other visual aids). The goal is to master English. Although the pullout ESL course includes English-only guidance, LEP participants are "pushed" into the classroom for part of their time in their mother tongue. Due to two contradictory philosophies, bilingual education in the United States is a complex cultural problem. On the one hand, the United States welcomes people from all walks of life. For a long time, immigrants always believe that the United States is "a country of opportunity" and individuals can stand up with hard effort and determination. They can build a new identity for themselves, but they can stick to their past culture without fear of retaliation.
