Abstract

Thanks to the development of modern technology, the channels for learning languages are also diversified, such as online tutoring, Youtube and other learning methods. These learning methods can reduce students’ anxiety about learning languages and enhance students’ interest in learning. Many teachers are thinking hard about the problem, virtual reality can break the limitations of time and space, allowing learners to learn in an interactive and exploratory way, so that learners can immerse themselves in the learning environment and increase their interest in learning. The purpose of this research is to use immersive learning to create a virtual reality learning environment, hoping to improve learners’ learning effectiveness, learning attitude, and learning motivation. In addition, the research found that virtual reality may bring a higher cognitive load and cannot ensure a higher level of cognitive load. Therefore, this study further explores the analysis of learning model satisfaction, cognitive load and technological acceptance. The results of the study found that virtual reality can help improve the effectiveness of learning, and the design of teaching materials can reduce the cognitive load of learners. This result provides teachers with a reference for future design of virtual reality into teaching.
