Abstract
This paper aims to effectively improve the learning effect of spoken English, which is difficult to learn or practice. For this purpose, the 3D space was constructed by computer simulation and virtual reality (VR) technology. Then, the author designed a computer simulation software to create a 3D virtual learning environment, which is almost indistinguishable from the real world, for immersive learning of spoken English. A total of 100 students were selected to learn spoken English for 12 weeks in the virtual environment. The learning outcomes were collected and analysed by statistical and induction methods. The analysis results show that the virtual environment greatly stimulated the students’ enthusiasm for spoken English learning, and improved the learning effect by 26~32%; the delay of the proposed software falls in the allowable range, but needs to be further improved. The research findings shed new light on the methods and theories of virtual situated learning of spoken English.
Highlights
Spoken English is an important part of practical English learning [1]
Based on JAVA software, component technology simulator, many years of teaching practice in spoken English teaching, and the summarized successful teaching experience model, this paper develops a 3D virtual immersive simulation model of spoken English learning [11]
This paper establishes a virtual model of spoken English learning based on the computer simulation technology
Summary
Spoken English is an important part of practical English learning [1]. For Chinese students, it’s the largest barrier in English learning. According to the literature statistics [2], more than 78.2% of English learners is difficult to achieve normal oral communication; Chinese students can do well in writing, but not in listening and speaking, which is their current state of learning English. This is mainly due to the lack of effective communication environment and daily use environment in addition to the existing domestic learning and examination model [3]. Process design of oral English learning activities in virtual environment
