Language learning, Culture learning, VRAbstract
In the digital era, learners are closely engaged with various kinds of technologies. Particularly, virtual reality (VR) has revolutionized our conventional ways of teaching and learning. Despite the wide adoptions of VR in education, our knowledge of how VR can facilitate EFL learners’ L2 linguistic and L1 native culture learning is fairly limited. The present work-in-progress paper reports on an on-going study that explores a self-developed VR system, which aims to support Chinese learners in improving their English language knowledge and Chinese culture knowledge via a simulated world. Research design and methods will also be discussed in this short paper.
