TOPICS Entertainment (http://www.topics-entertainment.com) congratulates Summit Hills Elementary of Idaho Fall, Idaho as the Elementary Division Grand Prize Winner in the Immersion™ VT End of School Year Celebration 2014. Winners were selected from short essays based on the question, “How would Instant Immersion VT benefit (your school’s name) students?” The Grand Prize provides up to $15,168-worth of language learning tools to winning schools for the 2014-2015 school year.
From the choice of over 120 languages, Summit Hills has chosen to receive Spanish multimedia learning tools including the Instant Immersion™ VT e-learning course, Instant Immersion™ On-the-Go audio courses and digital edition of the Instant Immersion™ Workbooks as part of a student cultural enrichment program.
Summit Hills first opened for the 2013-14 school year with 22% of the students speaking Spanish as home, but apparently many students don’t think “it’s cool” to speak Spanish at school according to Alisha Johnson, a teacher from Summit Hills.
School administration and teachers see an opportunity to help Hispanic students to embrace their heritage and unique bi-lingual abilities at school, by mentoring non-Spanish speaking students to learn about their language and culture—and in turn building cultural awareness and love of learning languages with non-Hispanic students.
“The students at our school are very high achievers. It would be beneficial for them to have something to push them beyond their normal learning. They would be able to gain skills in a language, and they could decide if it is something they would like to learn more of in the future. We, as teachers, are always looking for ways to challenge our students, and this program can help with that. It will change lives,” Johnson said.
The Grand Prize includes Instant Immersion VT e-learning courses for 250 students. Schools can choose one language per student from English, Spanish, Chinese, French and over 120 additional languages. If available in the same language, the award also includes matching MP3 audio courses and digital workbooks.
