What is the IMMERSE Learning Path?

The Learning Path is a feature designed to show the building blocks of language proficiency, help you see how far you’ve already come and decide what to learn next, and reward you with stamps to commemorate your progress.

What does it mean to know a language?

Your language proficiency comes down to what you can accomplish using the language. 

Do you know how to book an appointment with your doctor? Can you ask for directions to the library? How well can you communicate your feelings about a change of plans?

IMMERSE lessons and activities are based on teaching you the specific skills necessary to complete tasks like these. 

These communication tasks are organized into nine communication outcomes, or units:

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.
A fluent speaker can use language in a variety of ways

Getting Things Done, for instance, encompasses the language skills needed for negotiating and collaborating on the completion of tasks. Lessons, guided conversations, and other practice activities in this unit help learners develop skills like offering suggestions, making requests, and giving instructions.

Whether you’re taking Spanish classes, English classes, or French classes with IMMERSE, you’ll be learning to accomplish these communication tasks.

The IMMERSE Learning path helps you become a well-rounded speaker while still giving you the flexibility to prioritize the communication tasks you learn first. 

It provides a simple overview of the progress you’ve made in each of the nine units, letting you see which ones you’re close to mastering and which ones still need more attention.

How does the Learning Path help you learn a language?

The first thing you’ll see when you click on your Learning Path is an overview of the nine units. If there’s a unit that’s lower than the others, you’ll see a suggestion to work on that one. This helps you decide what to focus on next if you’re not sure.

The Learning Path tab is selected, showing a grid with the nine communication functions with a progress bar under each one.
The Learning Path's units correspond to the nine essential communication outcomes

After you choose a unit, clicking on it will show you a list of the communication tasks related to that category. These communication tasks are appropriate for your level. 

You’ll see the same nine units at each level in IMMERSE, but you’ll notice that the communication tasks associated with the unit become increasingly more sophisticated as you move up through the levels.

Once you’ve decided on a communication task, you can click to see the IMMERSE learning opportunities available to help you master it. 

You can practice on your own by building relevant vocabulary, improving your pronunciation while engaging in the pronunciation task, or engaging in relevant Guided Conversations with an AI conversation partner. You can also book a live lesson to learn from one of our highly experienced, friendly language instructors. 

Your IMMERSE membership gives you unlimited access to all of these learning opportunities, and the more you practice the faster you’ll reach fluency!
The Learning Path has been opened to the communication task called Suggest and Respond to suggestions for a course of action, and there are options to Practice on your own and Book a live lesson.

How does the Learning Path help you understand your progress?

IMMERSE is designed to let you choose what to learn next so you can focus on the skills you need right now. However, it’s important to work on all nine units if you want to become a well rounded Spanish, French, or English speaker.

The IMMERSE Learning Path lets you see at a glance how much progress you’ve made in each unit by checking the Unit Progress bars.

Four units are shown, with Unit Progress bars at varying degrees of completion.
Unit Progress bars let you see your progress at a glance

When you’ve taken 80% of the lessons available at your level, you’ll be prompted to take an assessment to see if you’re ready to move on to the next fluency level. You’re welcome to stay and complete all the lessons at your current level, but if there are a handful of communication tasks that just don’t seem relevant to your language learning goals, you’re free to move on.

Note that there are more lessons at the higher fluency levels because the number of communication tasks you are ready to learn increases as your language skills progress.

You’ll accumulate points for completing lessons and AI conversations. Each lesson earns you 5 points the first time you complete it (you’re welcome to take each class as many times as you like, but you’ll only earn points the first time). AI conversations are worth 1 point the first time you do them.

These points will earn you beautiful stamps that you can view by clicking on your profile picture in the Home room. Every time you complete a unit at your current fluency level, you unlock a new stamp to commemorate your progress on your language learning journey. Each stamp is a work of art relevant to the unit you earned it in, and you’ll notice how they transform as you progress through the fluency levels.
