Abstract

This article is trying to study about article acquisition, for bilingual students under the circumstances of immersive education. The purpose of the study is to find out if the immersive environment of language education will either cause a positive impact on language acquisition. In this study, a public survey is provided to a number of bilingual Chinese students in both America and China, aged around 18 and have experienced immersive education of English. The survey consisted of 2 parts, the first half studies about the participants’ experience over immersive education of English, and the second half provides some questions about article usage. The study tries to relate the experience of immersive study with the ability of using articles properly in English. This study is closely connected to language acquisition, which could be helpful if a positive result towards relationship between immersive education over language and language using skills could be drawn.
