Ideas for the issues project

I have been kicking around a few ideas about current issues in the instructional design field that I could tackle for my issues project. I think I'd like to specify towards my interests a bit, since I am pursuing the Second Language Acquistion track. One of the biggest innovations lately in the language teaching field is the idea of immersion learning - in Utah, the state legislature has granted large amounts of money for K-12 programs in Chinese and Arabic, and designers and administrators are now scrambling to try to make it work.

So I'm sure I need to clarify and elaborate this topic a little further, but something about immersion language learning vs. traditional language programs.
