The Potential of Virtual Reality for Teaching and Learning Purposes

Many spheres of activity are undergoing changes due to the active development of information computer technologies, which contributes to the modification of various fields of knowledge, education and science. The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of virtual reality technologies in learning as an important part of the modern educational process. VR in education is aimed not at replacing the teacher, laboratory and practical classes, but at motivating the student and teaching him in a new way. The research proves that one of the main advantages of using VR in teaching foreign languages is the creation of an authentic language environment. Students can immerse themselves in virtual scenarios where they can interact with native speakers, hear real conversations, and participate in simulated communication situations. It helps students develop communication skills in a foreign language in a realistic environment. VR in education can enhance collaborative learning.
