Language immersion means a program in which the usual curriculum activities are conducted in a second language which is the medium of instruction rather than the object of instruction.
In total immersion programs the second language is used for the entire school day during the first two or three years of the program.
In addition to the goal of functional proficiency in the second language, immersion programs have as a further goal, the mastery of subject content material which is taught through the second language.

 Total Immersion Spanish
In the 1960’s, a group of teachers in Cuernavaca Mexico started a school for the study of Spanish as a second language using what was, at the time, a revolutionary technique: Total Immersion Language Learning.
The school taught Spanish as a second language using only Spanish, using small classes of 1 to 5 students per teacher, and students lived with Mexican families in a “total immersion” experience that forced them to use the Spanish that they had been learning.

 Total Immersion Racing review for the PS2
Total Immersion Racing, or TIR (as emblazoned futuristically across the cover), is a racer that by its very title aims to compete in the same league as simulations like the epic Gran Turismo 3.
Unfortunately, this "gran" dream of "total immersion" is unrealized, as TIR is only a moderately average attempt at GT style racing, featuring the standard checklist of bare essentials but nothing truly new or sweet to add.
TIR houses some 18 total cars, representing several real contributors to the world of open road European style racing, from Audi and Bentley to Panoz.

Total Immersion Racing features a range of gameplay modes, but rookies will want to begin by entering either a single race or a time trial; these modes should give new players an idea of the game's physics model and also let them study a given track without the pressure of the game's main career mode.
Total Immersion Racing's cars feature slick motion effects on their tire rims, animated steering wheels and driver arms, and a high level of detail throughout.
What's even more impressive about the way Total Immersion Racing's cars look is the way they react to varied lighting.

 Maori Adult Total Immersion in New Zealand
I initially thought that a total immersion program where only Maori was going to be spoken and English banned was "a bloody stupid idea." I was unsure as to whether it was going to work, and I did not know how I could survive in an all Maori environment.
One of the main aims was that at the end of the three years--after nine immersion courses--the students should be able to organize their own course for their hapu (sub- tribe).
One of the things I think is important is that every student have a slip of paper on them to explain that they are attending an immersion course that week, that they are not to speak English, and that they thank the non-Maori speaking person for their tolerance and cooperation.

 IGN: Total Immersion Racing Review
Total Immersion falls into the latter category, which truthfully I prefer.
The bottom line here is that Total Immersion starts with a decent graphics engine, great sounds, and some fantastic track designs, and then spices it up with a few new innovative features, but then fails so badly in its actual execution that the driver is left saying "Man, if only…"
I think Razorworks should go back to the drawing board and address their problems in execution, because their concepts are intriguing and the presentation of the package is great.
