They categorize business challenges on a shared whiteboard under labels like “Technical Issues” and “HR Problems.” Example issues include software bugs, network failure, and cybersecurity attacks. The avatars gesture naturally, demonstrating real-time, immersive language practice in a professional context.

IMMERSE offers expertly designed live classes at proficiency levels spanning pre-A1 to C1 and led by the top language trainers in the industry.

Classes provide live instruction and practice with structural language elements like grammar and vocabulary. Each class helps learners master a single communicative task and apply it to their own lives and workplaces.

Instructor profile images float around them, emphasizing their credentials: certified, 5-star rated, native or advanced fluency, and educated.

Activities are gradually scaffolded to guide learners from an initial introduction to the skill, through guided practice activities, and finally to independent production. 

Each class aligns with internationally recognized standards including CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) and ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages), ensuring consistent quality and measurable progress.

Self-Paced Lessons: AI-Powered Learning on Your Schedule

An animated instructor guides the learner through a four-part lesson titled “Reacting to Good and Bad News.” The interface shows progress through steps: Intro, Listen, Practice, and Apply. Speech bubbles provide positive feedback, and icons offer translation and audio playback options.

IMMERSE's Self-Paced Lessons give learners the flexibility to practice on their own time while maintaining the same high-quality, contextualized approach and CEFR-aligned content as our live classes.

Unlike apps that rely solely on AI, our Self-Paced Lessons are crafted by expert curriculum designers, ensuring AI-driven interactions follow sound pedagogical principles. Each lesson unfolds in a virtual environment where an AI Avatar Tutor guides learners through a structured learning experience that includes instruction, dynamic practice, and personalized, actionable feedback based on the learner's actual performance.

The section highlights strengths such as “Sympathy for bad news” and “Sharing personal news,” and focus areas like “Reacting to good news” and “Grammar and word choice,” helping users reflect on communication skills and improve real-world fluency.

These lessons make IMMERSE particularly valuable for international employees who need flexibility in their learning schedule, HR administrators managing training across different time zones, and executives seeking solutions that minimize time away from core business activities while maximizing language skill development.

A New Kind of Language Practice: AI-Powered Interactions and Feedback in Real Time

IMMERSE provides a variety of AI-powered practice features that work in tandem to create a supportive practice ecosystem that complements live instruction and self-paced lessons. Each interaction features an AI avatar that speaks at the learner’s level, which ensures comprehensible input in a communicative context, the essential ingredients of effective learning.

These features enable learners to build confidence through frequent, low-stakes conversation practice that adapts to their individual needs and progress, accelerating the development of genuine fluency in a new language.

Guided Conversations: Targeted Practice with Feedback in Real Time

A Guided Conversation in the IMMERSE platform. An animated avatar stands beside a dialogue interface showing a conversation in English. A learner’s response, “I am having one on my cell phone,” is corrected by the AI, who suggests the more natural phrasing: “I have one on my cell phone.” The activity focuses on making professional requests, with a prompt scenario where an employee needs to borrow something from a colleague.

IMMERSE's AI Guided Conversations provide focused communication practice aligned with specific learning outcomes. Each conversation:

  • Centers on a specific communication goal 
  • Adapts to learner responses
  • Provides immediate, detailed feedback 
  • Supports endless practice variety

Learners can use Guided Conversations to prepare for class so they’re less nervous, review after class to solidify learning, or practice independently of class to build specific skills. 

Our Guided Conversations are proven to steer learners into practicing specific vocabulary, grammar, and communication tasks more effectively than traditional live tutors. There’s a Guided Conversation paired with each class, but they can also be used without taking the class.

Unlike scripted dialogues in traditional language apps, these AI-powered conversations respond naturally to whatever the learner says, giving them freedom to express themselves authentically while still staying focused on the learning objectives.

Community Avatars: Building Confidence Through Spontaneous Interaction

A microphone button is labeled “Tap once to respond.” Anika makes natural gestures as she talks, demonstrating lifelike AI-driven communication in a professional context.

Located in IMMERSE community spaces, our AI Community Avatars provide freeform social language practice:

  • Personalized interaction level: Each avatar adjusts to the learner's proficiency level, ensuring appropriate challenge without overwhelming beginners or boring advanced speakers
  • Relationship building: The avatar remembers previous conversations with each learner, creating a more authentic social experience
  • Contextual conversations: Each avatar has a distinct personality, making interactions feel realistic 
  • Cultural competence development: Exposure to diverse communication styles helps learners prepare to work with international teams and clients
  • Anxiety reduction: For employees who feel nervous speaking, these low-pressure interactions build the confidence necessary for workplace success

Community Avatars allow learners to explore language in a more open-ended, spontaneous manner, preparing them for real business interactions where conversations rarely follow predictable scripts.

Pronunciation Practice: Mastering Professional Communication

IMMERSE's pronunciation exercises provide targeted practice that helps learners master the sounds and rhythm of their new language and thereby sound more professional and confident when they speak:

  • Task-specific practice: Each exercise is tied to a specific communicative skill, helping learners practice phrases they'll use in real-world situations
  • AI-powered feedback: Learners receive scores on their responses, highlighting areas for improvement
  • Immediate reinforcement: Practicing new words helps cement proper pronunciation before incorrect habits form
  • Confidence building: Regular practice with feedback leads to measurable improvement, leading to more effective workplace communication
  • Intelligibility focus: Exercises emphasize the pronunciation elements most critical for being understood in professional contexts

Combined with conversation practice, these pronunciation exercises ensure learners not only know what to say but can say it in a way that inspires confidence in business settings.

A New Kind of Learning Community: Live Interactions for Authentic Skill-Building and Cultural Fluency

Beyond structured lessons, IMMERSE provides virtual spaces where learners connect with peers from over 90 countries in both scheduled meetups and spontaneous interactions. Our Language Exchange Commons, Community Scenes, and Hosted Meetups create opportunities to navigate diverse accents and communication styles in low-pressure social settings. 

These interactions develop the cross-cultural communication confidence essential for client relationships, international team collaboration, and other contexts where language skills directly impact professional success.

Community Spaces: Global Networking in Virtual Environments

IMMERSE's virtual community spaces provide environments where learners can develop the interpersonal language skills needed for cross-cultural business relationships:

  • International exposure: Connect with learners from around the world, becoming familiar with diverse accents, cultures, and communication styles
  • Privacy control: Choose between private practice with invited colleagues or public interactions with the global IMMERSE community
  • Cultural intelligence building: Prepare for international client interactions by gaining experience with conversation patterns and social norms that differ across cultures
  • Relationship development skills: Form connections with fellow learners that mirror professional relationship-building processes
  • Low-pressure networking practice: Build confidence initiating conversations in a supportive environment before applying these skills in business situations

IMMERSE's community spaces include the Language Exchange Commons—a multilingual hub connecting learners across all language programs—and a variety of themed Community Scenes where learners can hold contextualized conversation in settings ranging from professional environments to more casual scenarios.

Hosted Meetups and Interactive Activities

Profile icons of three participants and a "+23" badge appear above a “Join Now” button, signaling a welcoming, social practice environment for language learners.

IMMERSE also offers Hosted Meetups as additional opportunities for social conversation practice in a supportive context:

  • Guided by IMMERSE hosts: Meetups are facilitated by IMMERSE staff who ensure everyone feels comfortable and stays engaged
  • Peer connections: These spaces allow learners to meet and practice with others learning the same language
  • Vocabulary reinforcement: Engaging activities help reinforce vocabulary development

By integrating community experiences into the learning process, IMMERSE ensures employees develop not just language knowledge, but also the practical social communication skills crucial for building client relationships, collaborating with international teams, and representing their organization in global contexts.

A New Kind of Learning Design: Cutting-Edge Pedagogy for a Cutting-Edge Learning Platform

IMMERSE's learning methodology is engineered specifically for the needs of busy professionals who need to communicate effectively in global business environments. 

Our approach differs fundamentally from traditional language platforms in ways that deliver faster fluency and more practical business results.

Speaking-First Fluency Focus

Traditional language training creates translation habits and slow processing that hinder real-time workplace communication. 

IMMERSE prioritizes authentic speaking practice from day one, developing faster recall and language processing that enables employees to think directly in the target language. This approach helps employees communicate confidently and competently in business situations, where pausing to translate isn't an option.

Outcome-Driven Curriculum

Communication Outcomes. Two columns, one titled Language Function, one titled Employees learn to. The first row says Giving Facts, employees learn to present data, provide information clearly, and use examples to support statements. The second row says Socializing, employees learn to network, engage in small talk, and build rapport with colleagues and friends. Third row says Daily Life, employees learn to handle daily tasks, manage personal affairs, and improve work-life balance. Next row says Engaging in Community, employees learn to participate in transactions, identify locations, give directions, and resolve problems with goods and services. Next row says Opinions and Ideas, employees engage in discussions, present arguments, articulate thoughts, and influence and persuade others. Next row says Getting things done, employees learn to provide instructions, communicate about and collaborate on tasks, and make suggestions. Next row says Expressing feelings, employees learn to professionally communicate satisfaction, concerns, empathy, and other emotional states. Next row says managing communications, employees learn to converse, adapt to different cultures and communication styles, and lead discussions and presentations. Final row says Health and safety, employees learn to communicate about and manage workplace safety, respond to emergencies, and advocate for wellness.

Every activity in IMMERSE connects directly to specific communication outcomes. Our "can-do" framework ensures that in each learning experience, employees master concrete communication skills they can immediately apply in workplace settings—from making basic requests at Level 1 to negotiating complex solutions at higher levels.

Strategic Assessment System

An IMMERSE virtual language assessment. An avatar named José leads an interactive scene, while a multiple-choice question asks, “What caused the excitement?” with “An unplanned surprise” selected. The assessment result shows Level 5, corresponding to CEFR level B2, indicating the learner can communicate easily with native speakers.

IMMERSE's strategic assessment approach ensures learners start at the right level and advance at the optimal point in their learning journey, maximizing efficiency and ROI for language training programs:

Adaptive Placement Testing: Using adaptive technology that adjusts difficulty levels based on learners' responses, our placement test assesses real-world listening comprehension through a series of avatar dialogues that simulate real-world communication contexts. This approach efficiently determines each employee's optimal starting level by evaluating practical language proficiency rather than merely knowledge of abstract language structures. This focused assessment reliably places employees where they'll experience the right balance of challenge and success.

AI-Powered Level-Up Assessments: Available to learners who have completed at least 80% of their current level's content, these assessments evaluate advancement readiness through structured speaking tasks in immersive 3D environments. Each assessment includes an AI Interview with dynamic follow-up prompts and a roleplay scenario that evaluates spontaneous communication in contextualized settings like offices or public spaces. This approach tests real communication ability rather than memorized responses, ensuring learners advance only when they can apply their skills in authentic workplace situations. 

CEFR-Aligned Evaluation: Level-Up responses are analyzed using AI models trained on CEFR performance descriptors. Each assessment yields a personalized report with performance ratings in grammar, vocabulary, fluency, coherence, and task achievement, alongside readiness recommendations based on proficiency in the communication skills needed for workplace success.

This integrated assessment approach ensures your organization's language training investment delivers measurable results, with learners progressing through proficiency levels based on demonstrated communication abilities rather than simply the amount of time they have spent in the platform.

Spiraled, Scaffolded Lesson Design

Immerse's spiraled curriculum Level 1, Basic vocab and grammar: He’s a sales manager. Level 2, Simple vocab and grammar: Let me make sure I understand. The sales meeting is starting at two o’clock on Tuesday. Level 3, Complex vocab and grammar: This is a disappointment. The sales manager is canceling the meeting about workplace communication. Level 4, Advanced Vocab and Grammar: It’s impressive how much faster objectives are being met by our team since the sales manager organized a professional development workshop on workplace communication strategies. Level 5, Sophisticated vocab and grammar: The ability of a sales manager to mediate emerging conflicts effectively can lead to speedy and professional resolution of many workplace communication issues, significantly enhancing team productivity.

IMMERSE's curriculum builds systematically in complexity across six proficiency levels. As employees progress, they revisit the same communication functions with increasingly sophisticated language structures and vocabulary. This ensures workplace competencies develop systematically—from simple greetings to complex negotiations. 

There has several concrete learning benefits:

 

  • employees can communicate effectively in real-world situations even at early levels
  • they continuously build on a solid foundation for each communication task, leading to deeper understanding and better outcomes
  • the gradual progression makes learning feel easy and stress-free.

Backward Design for Real-World Results

Rather than starting with abstract language rules, we begin with practical workplace tasks, like requesting clarifications or providing peer feedback, and work backward to teach only the language elements essential for that specific communication goal. 

This approach eliminates wasted time on irrelevant content, focusing exclusively on what employees need for successful workplace interactions.

Tailored Design at Every Proficiency Level

The levels are displayed as stacked steps ascending from bottom to top. On the right, a smiling person in a green sweater prepares to put on a VR headset, symbolizing immersive language learning across all skill levels.

Each IMMERSE level follows a carefully structured progression that matches learners' abilities while strategically building new skills. From maximum support at Level 1 to sophisticated communication tasks at Level 6, every class guides employees through progressively independent practice aligned with international standards (CEFR/ACTFL), ensuring consistent quality and measurable progress for corporate language programs.

This research-based pedagogical approach ensures employees develop not just theoretical language knowledge, but practical communication skills they can confidently apply in real international business contexts.

The steps include: 1) Meet and Greet, 2) Vocabulary Warm-Up, 3) Grammar Introduction, 4) Comprehension Building, 5) Supported Communicative Practice, 6) Pronunciation and Review, 7) Productive Speaking Task, and 8) Wrap-Up and Independent Practice. A yellow timeline with directional arrows visually connects each stage.

A New Kind of Results: Business-Ready Learning Outcomes for Global Communication

Research consistently demonstrates that IMMERSE delivers exceptional outcomes across all key metrics that matter to organizations. 

Our approach builds on two fundamental differentiators: a platform wholly designed around practical communication abilities rather than isolated vocabulary or grammar, and proprietary technology that seamlessly blends immersive environments with AI-driven learning.
