Our current Research Partners are examining a variety of topics with learners of a variety of languages (English, French, Italian, etc.). These include (but are not limited to):
Language teachers' perceptions and uses of VR
Teacher development / training for VR
Impact of VR on vocabulary learning
The impact of VR on speaking proficiency
Role-playing in VR
Hybrid learning with VR
Impact of VR on speaking self-efficacy
Task-based blended learning in VR
VR and foreign language anxiety
Drama/theatre for language learning in VR
We welcome research on almost any topic pertaining to VR and language learning, but are particularly interested in longitudinal, empirical studies that can examine how VR impacts learning outcomes. We are also very much interested in research examining feedback/assessment or gamification in VR.
