Summary
The metaverse offers a new direction for blended English learning, enhancing engagement through immersive virtual environments. However, digital literacy and institutional support are crucial for its successful and sustainable integration in higher education.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Digital Learning Environments
- Higher Education Pedagogy
Background:
- The integration of digital technologies in higher education has evolved over two decades.
- The metaverse is emerging as a novel frontier for promoting blended English learning.
- Existing research highlights the potential of metaverse platforms to enhance learner engagement and academic success.
Approach:
- A systematic review methodology was employed, incorporating bibliographic and content analysis.
- The study aimed to synthesize evidence and develop a conceptual model for education-based metaverse integration.
- The review focused on identifying factors influencing metaverse-based blended learning effectiveness.
Key Points:
- Metaverse platforms can significantly boost learner engagement via immersive virtual experiences.
- Learner and instructor digital literacy levels are critical determinants of the virtual learning experience.
- Educational institutions and metaverse platform designers must provide essential support to enhance digital literacy.
Conclusions:
- The metaverse presents a promising avenue for innovative blended English learning strategies.
- Addressing challenges related to digital literacy and support structures is vital for sustaining metaverse adoption.
- Further research is needed to refine and expand guidance for educators and researchers in this domain.

Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

Language, whether spoken, signed, or written, consists of specific components: lexicon and grammar. The lexicon is the vocabulary of a language, comprising its words. Grammar is the set of rules used to convey meaning through the lexicon. For example, English grammar adds “-ed” to most verbs to indicate past tense. Words are formed by combining phonemes, which are the basic sound units of a language. Different languages have different sets of phonemes (e.g., “ah” vs.
