We got language naturally from our families, that is why we called native

speakers because we grow up and know that language without learning before,
it just naturally come to our self and we able to speak with that language as our
mother tongue for example is Bahasa Indonesia, we do not need learn it before
we use it becuase we are the mother tongue of it and we got this language from
our family, friends, or our environmetn as I said before.

Immersion Setting
Language immersion, or simply immersion, is a technique used in bilingual
language education in which two languages are used for instruction in a variety
of topics, including math, science, or social studies.The languages used for
instruction are referred to as the L1 and the L2 for each student, with L1 being
the native language of the student and L2 being the second language to be
acquired through immersion programs and techniques. There are different
contexts for language immersion, such as age of students, class time spent in the
L2, subjects taught, and the level of participation by the native L1 speakers.
Although programs differ by country and context, most language immersion
programs have the overall goal of promoting bilingualism between the two
different sets of language speakers. In many cases, biculturalism is also a goal
for speakers of the majority language (i.e. the language spoken by the majority
of the surrounding population) and the minority language (i.e. the language that
is not the majority language). Research has shown that these forms of bilingual
education provide students with overall greater language comprehension and
production of the L2 in a native-like manner; in addition to, greater exposure to
other cultures and the preservation of languages, particularly heritage
languages.

Submersion Setting

Some people believe that submersion (sink or swim) is best because it is the
fastest way to get ESL students to comprehend the English language and catch
up to the rest of their peers—that by placing them in mainstream, English-only
classrooms in kindergarten, they are given the opportunity and the motivation
they need to pick up the language within a couple of years.
