THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LANGUAGE IMMERSION METHODS IN ENGLISH INSTRUCTION

Language immersion is widely regarded as one of the most effective strategies for second language acquisition. This paper investigates the impact of immersion-based approaches on learners' English language proficiency, comparing them to traditional instructional methods. Through classroom observation, learner assessments, and teacher interviews, the study explores cognitive, linguistic, and motivational outcomes associated with immersion programs. Findings indicate that immersion significantly enhances communicative competence, vocabulary acquisition, and learner confidence, especially when combined with contextualized, meaningful interaction.
