Construction and Implementation of an Immersive Learning Model for Public English Education Supported by Virtual Reality Technology

Abstract

In the context of the deep integration of digital education transformation and the reform of public English teaching, VR technology,
leveraging its key advantages such as immersiveness, interactivity, and multi-sensory experience, provides novel pathways to address persistent challenges in traditional public English teaching: scarcity of authentic contexts, insufficiency of interactive exchange, and low learning
motivation. Public English is a fundamental language course tailored to all learners. Its main purpose is to cultivate learners' intercultural communication skills and comprehensive language application competence. Immersive learning methodologies align with pedagogical imperatives, transcending spatial-temporal constraints to cultivate authentic linguistic ecosystems. This paper synthesizes the main characteristics of
virtual reality technology and the intrinsic nexus between it and public English immersive learning, and analyzes the construction underpinnings, fundamental components and implementation pathways of current public English immersive learning models supported by virtual reality technology.
