COMMENT:
There is ample evidence that demonstrate that participating in interactions in the target language is key to learning that language.
Daily life evidence: Children who have come to our school without knowing how to speak any of the official languages or none of them, have learned the language thanks to the contact, the coexistence and dialogues with the rest of their classmates in as much time and spaces as possible, with the greatest possible number of people.
