Islip Middle School held its annual World Language Immersion Day on Feb. 28, inviting members of Islip High School’s World Language Honor Society to showcase their language skills and promote global citizenship through various activities with seventh grade language learners. The high school students created stations to encourage use of the target language with each visiting middle school group, speaking only Spanish or Italian for the entire event. This immersive experience provided the younger students with a chance to practice vocabulary words and hear the language being spoken and modeled.

“Immersion Day fortifies a connection between those who will soon be leaving our world language program for college and beyond, with the program’s future,” World Language Honor Society adviser Megan Schierhorst said.
