Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) technology revolutionizes language immersive learning by creating three-dimensional virtual environments, making learners feel as if they are within the target language culture, greatly enhancing the learning experience and outcomes. This technology not only stimulates learner interest but also fosters cross-cultural communication skills. However, high equipment costs, content development diffculties, technology maturity, and user acceptance remain signifcant barriers to its widespread application.
