In my bachelor research my topic was to find out parents conceptions of language immersion in Sipoo. Main target was to reveal how immersion was arranged and how it effected to pupils and to their families. I constructed my theoretical background by representing language immersion and its different models. I made clear how immersion starts in Sipoo and what kind of language immersion will be used there. I have also researched students parents options: how home and children´s locality has been affected when parents have chosen that their children will start school education in language immersion school. I also studied how the pupils felt when being in the language immersion kindergarten and what kind of feelings they had later at school regarding language immersion. Also I tried to solve parents and siblings attitudes of language immersion and of Swedish language. One question to clear up was how the language immersion has affected siblings and their reactions on each other. As conclusion of my research I suggest some possible improvement points which could be tested in everyday classroom teaching where language immersion are used as pedagogical method.
