The core of language acquisition at Immerse is the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach, which emphasizes interaction in the target language. The VR environment facilitates authentic communication by placing learners in meaningful, real-world-like scenarios.

Common CLT activities leveraged within IMMERSE include:

TBLT is a methodology, a subset of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), that centers on learners completing authentic, meaningful tasks that mirror real-world situations. Within the VR environment of IMMERSE, these challenges are not merely theoretical; they are integrated into dynamic, interactive spaces.

Tasks in TBLT are characterized by four key features:

Emergent language is the spontaneous, unpredictable language that learners use to express immediate thoughts or needs. In the VR environment, this often arises as learners interact with and react to virtual stimuli. Guides can leverage these moments to provide valuable, real-time feedback using a variety of techniques:

IMMERSE is designed for seamless integration into existing curricula, as it is both CEFR-based and ACTFL-aligned. Our lessons are meticulously crafted using granular descriptors from the Global Scale of Languages (GSL), which focuses on specific communicative tasks. This strategic focus directly supports programmatic goals. By maintaining this alignment, we ensure that our asynchronous practices and live lessons effectively address crucial language learning objectives while offering adaptability for a variety of teaching and learning environments.

IMMERSE is a flexible, plug-and-play tool designed for seamless integration into various learning models. It excels as a supplementary resource for boosting learners' oral skills and fluency, making it an ideal fit for a variety of classroom environments. By having learners complete AI lessons or practices outside of class, they arrive prepared with the target structures. This approach maximizes valuable classroom time, allowing it to be focused on active application and deeper interaction, which ultimately leads to more effective learning.

IMMERSE offers an experiential, scenario-based approach that moves beyond traditional textbook exercises. By practicing language skills within realistic, immersive environments, learners gain the confidence and fluency needed for effective real-world communication. Scenarios include navigating an airport, describing an emergency, and negotiating purchases, enabling students to master everyday language in authentic contexts.

IMMERSE's approach moves beyond traditional language instruction by emphasizing cultural awareness and teaching language registers appropriate for various social and professional contexts. Learners engage in authentic scenarios, like workplace meetings or casual social gatherings, to practice communicating naturally and appropriately. This focus on cultural and contextual knowledge is key to equipping them for real-world interactions and successfully bridging the gap between academic study and practical, everyday communication.

IMMERSE offers flexible, 24/7 access, allowing students to engage in asynchronous activities at their convenience, anytime and anywhere. This approach ensures continuous improvement in speaking skills by providing personalized, tailored feedback on activities that use real-world scenarios and authentic communication practices, all while developing essential everyday communication skills.
