This paper explores the impact of AI applications in adaptive learning on learners with varying levels of Chinese proficiency and diverse learning needs. The study investigates the robustness of VR technology in enhancing Chinese oral proficiency and pragmatic skills among 1st year and 2nd year learners. It compares the established VR app Mondly with Uptale, an Immersive VR authoring platform, focusing on AI-based voice recognition and analysis features. Additionally, it compares the adaptability of the Uptale VR platform with Mondly by analyzing factors such as difficulty adjustments, interactive features, learner engagement, and support for learner autonomy. It was found that VR technology, in general, enhances the Chinese learning experience. Uptale's additional features extend its potential utility in student assessment. These features include custom learning modules that incorporate students' self-shot 360-degree videos and interactive elements, such as multiple-choice questions, audio prompts, speaking/recording tags, feedback mechanisms, and analysis reports.
