I totally agree. On the other hand even when we do CI, the time kids spend in the language is very restricted in comparison to their L1, so I still feel the need to compromise somehow although my main focus will always be on CI. What I do is give them lists with chunks or sentences from our stories which they have to revise only from L2 to L1.
Some weeks ago I had an eye-opening experience in my year 6 class: I handed them a list and they told me it was so easy for them because they understood (almost) everything right away without having to learn it at home.
That is a good compromise. It is evidence to list people that your students know something. They did not even have to study it. It is affirmation for the students. They can learn a language. They do not even have to study it.
