A question: Is ‘Immersion Learning’ a term that you have coined? If not, does this have anything to do with Luis Von Ahn’s immersion concept on duolingo?
Ah, I should have guessed that ‘Immersion Learning’ had been co-opted a few times before. My above use is my own coinage. By it I just mean jumping in and being exposed to everything you can and letting your brain sort it out, rather than methodically building a cathedral of understanding, one block at a time.
