1. English immersion seeks to "Americanize" children by teaching them the dominant culture.

Explanation:

English language may be taught in various styles, not only American. Traditionally, British English was mostly taught, during the end of the 20th century, American English tended to be more common as the "language model" mainly because of the United States predominance in international economy.

Nowadays, English language teaching is open to show the different English dialects, more like a "lingua franca" with many different variables like Southafrican, Jamaican and Australian English.
