Natural language as a strategy for learning foreign languages

Abstract

The study compares the effectiveness of the natural language method in immersive contexts with traditional methods of teaching English, using an experimental design with a control group and an experimental group. The results indicate that students in the immersive group improved significantly in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In addition, student participation, motivation, and satisfaction were higher in the experimental group, suggesting that immersion and natural language practice create a more dynamic and effective environment for learning. These findings support integrating immersive methods into language teaching programs, highlighting their potential to improve academic performance and the overall learning experience.
