Abstract Dual immersion in the USA, and content and language integrated learning (CLIL) in Spain, share essential properties and differ only in the context where they take place. The principal aim of this study is to carry out an assessment of students’ satisfaction towards the program in California, and to subsequently compare it with a similar study on CLIL with Spanish students in the capital region of Madrid. To this purpose a rigorously designed and validated questionnaire was administered. Results show that despite the perspectives of the subjects sampled being positive in general terms, this type of bilingual instruction in the American state presents some weaknesses that must be addressed. The article finishes by remarking on the importance of eliciting the opinion of learners, and by referring to the benefits of bilingualism especially for US society. Some brief suggestions for further research are also given at the end.

学生对加州双重沉浸的看法：与马德里 CLIL 学习者的看法比较

摘要 美国的双重沉浸式学习和西班牙的内容和语言综合学习 (CLIL) 具有共同的基本属性，仅在发生的上下文中有所不同。本研究的主要目的是评估学生对加州课程的满意度，随后将其与马德里首都地区西班牙学生的类似 CLIL 研究进行比较。为此，进行了严格设计和验证的问卷调查。结果表明，尽管抽样对象的观点总体上是积极的，但美国的这种双语教学存在一些必须解决的弱点。文章最后评论了引起学习者意见的重要性，并提到双语制的好处，尤其是对美国社会的好处。最后还给出了一些进一步研究的简要建议。
