En este artículo se presenta una revisión del primer Programa de Inmersión aplicado en la provincia de Quebec (Canadá) hacia la mitad de la década de los sesenta: el programa experimental de St. Lambert. Este programa fué diseñado para cubrir las necesidades y características de un grupo determinado de niños anglófonos canadienses. Se describen las características de éste programa, la evaluación que se llevó a cabo y los resultados obtenidos. Asimismo, se incluyen las modificaciones del programa original que han dado lugar a la aplicación de otros programas de características distintas que se describen a lo largo del artículo. En las conclusiones se pone de manifiesto la especifidad del diseño de estos programas con respecto al grupo para el que fueron diseñados y el desarrollo de nuevas formas de educación a partir de los programas de inmersión.
