Swain, Merrill; Johnson, Robert Keith – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 1996
Analyzes how Canadian immersion education has developed from its origins to the present in terms of a cycle guided by the interplay between theory and classroom practice of second- language acquisition.
