Abstract

Immersion teaching strategies has gained increasing popularity in foreign language education in China. There is evidence that teachers and students find that immersion teaching strategies provides opportunities for comprehensible output and integrated language teaching. This article discusses the implementation of immersion teaching methodology in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) and suggests that a preliminary development of immersion environment is necessary. Such an immersion program aims to provide a strong foundation for oral language fluency and proficiency later. Recommendations for research and pedagogy are proposed. For example, it is suggested that a framework be developed to aids teachers in assisting their students to reap the benefits of immersion teaching instructions in English teaching.
