Virtual Reality: A game changer in language acquisition

For many Canadian immigrants, language is a major barrier in one’s ability to culturally integrate into society. Students were divided into two classes, one using standard language learning (as the control group) and the other using VR. VR is beneficial to language learning as the immersive virtual environment creates a realistic experience where people can learn to interact and make decisions within society. However, there are still improvements that must be made to VR language learning. Overtime, as those issues become resolved, VR language education games can move past the niche market, becoming more accessible.
