Tour of IMMERSE & Learning Opportunities

Updated over 2 weeks ago

IMMERSE's Learning Model

Lessons in IMMERSE are designed based on communicative language teaching principles. These practices ensure an engaging, immersive experience that helps learners develop fluency in real-world contexts.

Communicative Language Teaching

  • Role-plays

  • Interviews

  • Group work

  • Information gap activities

  • Opinion sharing

Task-Based Teaching

  • Focuses on pragmatic meaning

  • Encourages learners to choose the linguistic resources needed to complete tasks

Emergent Language

Emergent language refers to language that naturally arises in interaction between learners or between learners and Guides. This spontaneous language use supports more authentic communication.


IMMERSE Levels

When members register with IMMERSE, they take a proficiency placement test to determine the best level for their fluency. The test assigns a level automatically, but members can adjust their level manually at any time.

🔗 Link to the placement test here.

Available Levels:

  • English: Levels 1-6

  • Spanish: Levels 1-5

  • French & Portuguese: Levels 1-4

Members can freely take classes at any level, regardless of their placement.
