1. Introduction   

With the development of economic globalization, English has become more and more important in the 21st century. And the immersion method has become one of the popular English teaching methods. This method has been experimented in many primary schools and has greatly improved English teaching quality in China. The findings of many experiments have confirmed that this method can improve the students’ comprehensive abilities in listening, speaking, reading and writing far more efficiently than the traditional teaching method. And it is also reported that the students in the experiment school become more agile and creative at the same time (Chi Yanping & Zhao Wei, 2004:13). So far many scholars have further, home and abroad, explored more effective ways of immersion English teaching from different perspectives. And this thesis, based on their studies, try to search out the principles guiding the English immersion teaching in primary school.  小学英语沉浸式教学方法研究:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_57159.html
