Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) is increasingly being recognized for its potential to revolutionize language learning by providing immersive and interactive environments. This article investigates the impact of VR on enhancing listening skills in language learning. It explores the theoretical foundations supporting the use of VR, examines various VR applications and tools, and discusses practical strategies for integrating VR into language instruction. By leveraging VR technology, educators can create realistic and engaging listening experiences that improve learners' auditory comprehension and overall language proficiency.
