Total Immersion Training Programs - Berlitz Singapore

Total Immersion

Berlitz Total Immersion® programs are scientifically proven to build language fluency in a short amount of time through intensive individual instruction, seven and a half hours a day for two to six weeks. The focused study builds skills quickly for students to think and speak in a new language.

For part of each day, the Total Immersion student works simultaneously with two instructors to experience three-way conversation.  The student handles rapid-fire question and answer drills from both instructors to develop fluency and comprehension of native speakers talking at a typical speed.

In order to maintain the continuity and flow of instruction, lunch is provided at the Berlitz Language Center Monday through Thursday, affording an opportunity to continue practicing a new language in a casual environment.  After the "lunch lesson" the student reviews the morning's material and works on reading and writing exercises.

Fridays bring a pleasant change of pace—both student and instructor head out to lunch at a nearby restaurant to engage in "free" social conversation in a relaxed atmosphere.  This helps the student build the self-confidence and linguistic security necessary to achieve fluency.

Periodically throughout the week, the student will engage in telephone role-play to experience conversations without the benefit of seeing the speaker. 

Once the basics are mastered, the Total Immersion® vocabulary is customized to include specific business terminology and any special requirements of the student.

Total Immersion® graduates can feel secure that they have undergone the most effective language training possible, and take on whatever new challenges lie ahead with confidence.
