Yabancı Dil Öğrenimi ve Öğretiminde Sanal Gerçeklik Uygulamaları

Öz

Bu çalışmada, eğitsel amaçlı bir sanal gerçeklik uygulaması geliştirme projesi öncesinde öğrenci ve öğreticilerin yabancı dil öğrenimi için sanal gerçeklik uygulamalarına ilişkin tutum ve görüşleri ele alınmıştır. Eğitimde sanal gerçeklik uygulamalarına ilişkin kuramsal ve uygulamalı alanyazın incelenerek kuramsal çerçeve ortaya konmuş ve sonuçlar rapor edilmiştir. Farklı üniversitelerden 231 öğrenci 43 öğretim elemanından oluşan katılımcıların sanal gerçeklik ön bilgilerini, deneyimlerini ve görüşlerini belirlemeye yönelik anketten katılımcıların düşük seviyede sanal gerçeklik deneyimine sahip olduğunu ancak bu teknolojinin yabancı dil eğitimi sürecine dâhil edilmesi konusunda olumlu tutum sergiledikleri sonucu elde edilmiştir.

Virtual Reality Applications in Foreign Language Learning and Teaching

Öz

The current study deals with the attitudes and opinions of students and instructors about virtual reality applications for foreign language learning in the preparation phase of a project for developing an educational virtual reality application. The theoretical framework has been revealed and the results of the collected theoretical and applied literature on virtual reality applications in education have been reported. From the questionnaire to determine the virtual reality background knowledge, experiences and opinions of the participants, which consisted of 231 students and 43 instructors from different universities, it was concluded that the participants had a low level of virtual reality experience, but they had a positive attitude towards the inclusion of this technology in the foreign language education process.
