Immersive learning: A virtual reality teaching model for enhancing english speaking skills

Abstract

Speaking abilities are an essential component of communicating effectively and expressing oneself personally. They are significant in various contexts, such as social, professional, and intellectual. In addition to establishing stronger interpersonal relationships, improving confidence, and contributing to success in collaborative contexts, proficient in speaking can present their views clearly and concisely, participate in meaningful conversations, and convince others. It is necessary to have good speaking abilities to communicate effectively across cultural boundaries and develop one’s profession in today’s globalized society. An innovative virtual reality (VR) teaching paradigm is presented in this study to enhance the English-speaking abilities of students who are enrolled in professional programs. This virtual reality (VR) model mimics actual communication settings by immersing students in realistic and engaging worlds. This model also allows students to engage in active practice, receive quick feedback, and feel emotionally engaged. This paradigm emphasizes individualized, context-based conversation practice to enhance fluency, pronunciation, and self-assurance in speaking languages.
