• With increasing international interdependence, it is getting more and more important for educators to ensure that children will acquire an ability to communicate with people from other cultures within the framework of school education. Immersion education in Canada has been attracting a lot of attention from those engaged in second language education as a successful strategy for fostering communicative competence in a second language in the context of classroom second language learning. The present paper, as a first step for obtaining comprehensive understanding of Canadian immersion education, aims at specifying fundamental characteristics of Canadian immersion education from a theoretical perspective, focusing on its duality as bilingual education and as second language education. This theoretical assessment of Canadian immersion eduration has revealed the importance of subject matter as meaningful comprehensible input for second language learners, implying the necessity of integrating content teaching and language teaching for developing communicative competence in a second language.
