One-day study tour in Taiwan began its establishment in early 2007, inspired by the An-San English Village in Seoul, in order to help students learn English quickly and efficiently. Different situational classrooms, such as a clinic, a hotel, a travel agency etc., are set up and manned with native teachers to teach students appropriate conversations accordingly. The main ideas of setting up such an English immersion program are to provide students with enough exposure to an English speaking environment and the culture related. In language learning, culture is one of the key elements which often determine students' learning interest and therefore cannot be neglected. In this study, based on the previous literature research, a model which suggests the relationships among learners' English ability (EA), learning interest (LI) and the situational classroom teaching (SCT) is discussed and explored. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether the simulated culture in different classroom settings could enhance students' English ability and their learning interest through the examination of the model suggested.
