Research on the Teaching Mode and Learning Effectiveness of VR Technology Integration into College English Classroom

As an important content of the modern education system, college English teaching plays an important role in cultivating students to conform to the trend of social development and improving college students’ English application ability. In addition, the transformation of English classroom teaching modes is crucial to the impact on students’ learning effectiveness. Based on this, this paper establishes a semantic comprehension model of oral communication based on the teaching mode of English classroom through the BERT model and then builds a simplified model of 3D images using LOD technology to realize a virtual classroom, which can provide targeted oral exercises and competence enhancement for students with different English levels. Students are expected to have an immersive experience of the communication process in the classroom with the help of VR technology. The results of the study show that the application of VR technology in college English teaching makes 82% of the total number of students in the experimental class score above the good level in the pre-test, while only 64% in the control class. The experimental group accounted for 6% of the total among students with poor oral grades. At the same time, the control group accounted for 22% of the total collective. Obviously, the use of VR technology has an extremely significant effect on students with medium to low oral proficiency. To summarize, VR technology-assisted teaching can improve students’ academic performance and stimulate learners’ interest in learning, which can provide insights into college English classroom teaching. © 2024 Huimin Qi, published by Sciendo.
