Abstract

Due to the growing status of internationalization, English immersion pedagogy has shown strong significance for the cultivation of students’ language comprehension in Chinese universities. Though there has been much discussion on English immersion theoretically and practically, few discussions on the application of immersion teaching at the tertiary level in China. This paper specifically focused on a comparison study of the traditional English classroom and English Immersion classrooms. Drawing on questionnaires, Pre-post participant questionnaires are analyzed and compared quantitatively. Results show that students were generally more positive towards English immersion courses than traditional English teaching. Findings are discussed corresponding to classroom teaching practices in the two groups, which took 16 weeks to complete. Finally, teaching implications on how to enhance the quality of University English teaching, hoping to provide useful information for further reform and teaching practice.
