VIRTUAL REALITY IN TEACHING OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Abstract

The study of the mechanisms of language and speech abilities has shown that the most effective method of learning a foreign language is the method of full immersion, since students enter the natural language environment and are in it constantly. But the learning process in the classroom, no matter how organized and communicative it may be, cannot replace the real teaching experience. Since the most important factors for effective learning of a foreign language are the language environment and motivation, therefore, the development of new motivational language learning environments, including virtual reality (VR), is the main elements of the learning process. In such an educational space, virtual reality helps students to understand phenomena and situations that cannot be understood and explained using traditional methods in order to become part of the real world through modeling. In general, virtual reality is an ideal learning environment, and the possibilities of its technologies for learning have an extremely high potential for application
