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 made clear how immersion starts in Sipoo and what kind of language immersion will be used there. I constructed my theoretical background by representing language immersion and its different models. Peltola, E. examined what kind of children grariated in immersion (1993) and Lauren, C. parents waitings from immersion. I have also researched students parents options their belief system pupils' growth environments effect 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. I have been using a variety of indicators, and to establish the belief systems of the factorial analysis. In my bachelor thesis reflected that parents was satisfied with school and what there will be teaching. They were also interested from school and what happens there, that contributed positively pupils' convenience and success at school. Parents appreciated the immersion in language learning method. Families interesting from Swedish TV-programs or from Swedish literature was not increased. 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 and would it be wise to look again at the language of instruction?
