Immersion means being completely surrounded or absorbed by something. Literally, it can mean being dipped fully into a liquid — an 'immersion heater' is a device you put right into water to heat it. More often, especially for language , 'immersion' describes learning by being fully surrounded by the language — like living in an English-speaking country, hearing and using nothing else all day.
沉浸；immersion learning＝沉浸式學習
