Virtual Reality-Integrated Immersion-Based Teaching to English Language Learning Outcome

Area of Science:

• Educational Technology
• Applied Linguistics
• Virtual Reality in Education

Background:

• Globalization and informatization necessitate cultivating international talents with a global vision.
• English language learning is a critical concern for educators and scholars worldwide.
• Traditional teaching methods may not fully leverage technological advancements for language acquisition.

Purpose of the Study:

• To explore strategies for cultivating international talents with a global vision.
• To investigate the innovative combination of immersion-based English teaching with virtual reality (VR) technology.
• To evaluate the impact of VR-enhanced immersion on students' English learning outcomes.

Main Methods:

• A quasi-experimental study involving 106 students from a Chinese school over 16 weeks.
• Integration of immersion-based English teaching with virtual reality (VR) technology.
• Data analysis using computer statistical software to verify hypotheses.

Main Results:

• A significant positive correlation (0.851, p < 0.01) was found between VR and immersion-based language teaching.
• Immersion-based language teaching showed a significant positive correlation (0.824, p < 0.01) with academic achievement.
• VR demonstrated a positive correlation (0.836, p < 0.01) with learning outcome (LO).

Conclusions:

• The integration of VR technology with immersion-based English teaching significantly enhances students' learning effects.
• The modified oral test system, utilizing database analysis, greatly improved student performance.
• The findings provide an experimental reference for English teachers and future linguistics teaching strategies.
