Resumo(s)

Immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) is a promising educational tool for learning a second/foreign language. However, interactive iVR studies remain in their infancy, with more research required to validate what and how it can be implemented. This study focuses on the English listening dimension and evaluates the impact of a realistic interactive iVR compared to traditional listening exercises. The results were favourable and indicated that interactive iVR positively impacts the users’ knowledge retention compared to a traditional listening approach. Likewise, the users revealed a preference for using iVR for learning when compared to traditional listening exercises, as well as higher user satisfaction with the iVR experiment.
