Abstract
The emergence of Virtual Reality (VR) has drastically altered the overall layout of language education. VR-powered technology enables language learners to practice their speaking skills in real-life, stress-free, and interactive conversational scenarios, which conventional teaching methods fail to meet. Hence, the present paper seeks to examine the efficacy of integrating VR-powered technology in English as a Foreign Language classroom settings for the development of speaking skills. To evaluate the impact of VR technology in improving students’ speaking skills, the paper employs a mixed-method approach, namely, in-depth case studies and quantitative data analysis. The findings provide evidence-based insights into how VR-supported tools ameliorate students’ conversational skills in terms of fluency and accuracy. The applicability of the content in developing conversational skills underlines the strong practical value of the research, as well as makes a solid case for its massive integration in language teaching. Considering its transformative potential, future research is not only warranted but crucial to modernizing and enriching EFL pedagogy.
