5. I've learned 3 other languages by immersion....

classes in languages are great for picking up bits and phrases, but you never really "learn" a language. It is likely that the students that can't speak English will lag behind their entire academic careers. It would be better taking these students and putting them in intense English training for the 1st year when they just enroll in school. They may be held back a year, but it will pay in spades later on.
