Małe Zanurzenie (Shallow Immersion)

Małe zanurzenie, often translated as "shallow immersion," refers to a language learning approach that involves limited and less intensive exposure to the target language compared to full immersion. This method typically involves:

• Limited Contact Hours: Fewer hours per week are dedicated to language learning than in immersion programs.
• Formal Instruction: Emphasis on grammar rules, vocabulary, and structured lessons.
• Artificial Environment: Language is primarily used in a classroom setting rather than in real-life situations.
• Less Exposure to Native Speakers: Interaction with native speakers may be minimal or non-existent.

Unlike <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Full%20Immersion">full immersion</a>, shallow immersion doesn't create the environment where language is the only way to communicate. It's often combined with other learning strategies and used as a supplementary method. It can be effective in providing a foundational understanding of a language but typically doesn't lead to fluency as quickly as more intensive approaches.
