This video is an excerpt of a short film entitled 'Immersion' written and directed by Richard Levien. The movie tells the story of Moisés, a Spanish speaking immigrant in the US, who has been immersed into the public school system of which the target language of instruction is English.

This clip shows Moisés in math class, a short demonstration of why it's so important that teachers of ELLs (English Language Learners) use strategies to support the development of academic language in different subject areas.
