Virtual Reality (+ Mondly)

 


Hello everyone!

Virtual reality uses any technological device to simulate a real environment. Rather than showing you a scenario, Virtual reality can put you in that scenario. It also can provide interactive experiences that could be much more engaging than studying alone. Virtual reality apps can give you also valuable practice, which can help reinforce learning. You can basically use Virtual reality apps to practice and improve on your fluency or accuracy in a real-life scenario, without feeling self-conscious in front of a native speaker. It enables us to get rid of classroom walls and connect with the outside world very simply.


Virtual reality opens new doors to language learning. There are many virtual reality apps out there and I tried the virtual reality app called "Mondly". Mondly can be one of the best VR apps to use for language learning education because it's basically focused on learning a foreign language. It launches you in an environment where you can have conversations with virtual characters. While using, It can boost students self-confidence regarding speaking in real situations. By combining speech recognition and voice chatbot, Mondly offers a sense of real immersion. You get instant feedback on your pronunciation, as well as suggestions on how to improve your vocabulary. I also got a lot suggestions while playing and it was really helpful. The interactive scenarios can make the process fun and enjoyable especially for the young students learning a foreign language.
