Announcing the Elementary Division Grand Prize Winner of Instant Immersion™ VT’s End of School Year Celebration 2014
Renton, Washington (PRWEB) June 27, 2014 -- TOPICS Entertainment (http://www.topics-ent.com) congratulates Summit Hills Elementary of Idaho Falls, Idaho as the Grand Prize Winner in the Elementary Division of the Instant Immersion™ VT End of School Year Celebration 2014. Winners were selected from school-submitted short essays based on the question, “How would Instant Immersion VT benefit (your school’s name) students?” Grand Prize awards can provide up to $15,168-worth of language-learning tools.
Summit Hills chose to receive all Spanish multimedia tools including the Instant Immersion™ VT e-learning course, Instant Immersion™ on-the-go audio courses and the digital edition of the Instant Immersion™ workbook as part of a student enrichment program.
Twenty-two percent of Summit Hills Elementary School’s students speak Spanish at home, but don’t speak their native language at school. The administration at Summit Hills, however, sees an opportunity to help these students embrace their unique linguistic abilities and to help non-Spanish-speaking students learn Spanish. Imagine the power of peer mentorships and Instant Immersion.
“The students at our school are very high achievers,” writes teacher Alisha Johnson. “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.”
The Grand Prize includes Instant Immersion™ VT e-learning courses for up to 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.
