Students' Attitudes toward High-Immersion Virtual Reality Assisted Language Learning
Kaplan-Rakowski, Regina; Wojdynski, Tomasz
Research-publishing.net, Paper presented at the EUROCALL 2018 Conference (26th, Jyväskylä, Finland, 2018)
This pilot study delivers a preliminary report on students' attitudes toward Virtual Reality Assisted Language Learning (VRALL). Learners (N=22) participated in a VRALL lesson and then completed a post-experience survey. Virtual Reality (VR) technology allows for learning experiences that increasingly remove geographic limitations to foreign language learners. Thanks to multisensory features of VR, including 360-degree, three-dimensional visualizations, students' experiences are highly immersive. Descriptive statistics provide preliminary evidence that VR technology is engaging and immersive for learners. Moreover, VR could play a role in Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), especially when pitfalls such as cybersickness are overcome. [For the complete volume of short papers, see ED590612.]
