This article presents a detailed history of the development of a particular immersion program to teach English to young Polish students. The program draws support from two organizations, the Kościuszko Foundation and the Polish Scouting Organization. Kościuszko Foundation is dedicated to strengthening the ties between the United States and Poland as well as to increase knowledge of Poland’s history and culture in the United States. The cooperation of these two organizations developed an experience of immersion in language and cultural exchange. Both the teachers and the students in this program benefited from the opportunity to engage in a number of different types of language activities and cultural events through a summer camp experience. This program is, of course, unique, but the elements of context, culture and immersion could be used in other programs to develop English skills and knowledge in the context American culture.

This paper investigates using TED Talks to promote English language learning and production to ESL (English as a second language) learners at the tertiary level with the proficiency level between A2 and C1 as determined by their college entry-level test. In this study, it is used with a mixed-ability group of students of an engineering college who have difficulty performing in the language during classroom participation, while comprehending subject lectures or while communicating with their teachers and peers. In order to make their learning more engaging and to enhance the learner experience of the English language in this engineering class, TED Talks were used. Pre- and post-viewing activities were given to a group of students and were continuously assessed using classroom observation and production of language in classroom activities. The findings show that using TED Talks as a resource in the classroom improved English language production in terms of speaking and encouraged learners to confidently use the language.
