Abstract

English being the common tongue of many people around the world, it is necessary that everyone knows it. Learning English is more about knowing how to reach people′s heart and making them understand your reasoning than just reviewing vocabulary and grammar. Observing others on how they communicate can be great way to learn quickly, however you should know how to use the language as well. Fortunately, there is a way to learn English that will help you with both of these things. It′s called immersion. This article reviews in detail about the benefits of immersion technique and how it has gained momentum in the past ten years. It also looks into some of the immersion programs offered invarious universities and other organisations and how they help utilizethe principles of immersion to make the learning process fun and easier.
