Abstract
ImmerseMe is an online language-learning platform that offers language instruction in a variety of virtual reality–based settings. The use of virtual reality allows for more authentic representations of real-life interactions learners may find themselves in if they travel to a region where the target language is spoken. Learners select a setting and a lesson, and then virtually interact with prerecorded interlocutors. Novice learners can also participate in dictation exercises in which they repeat the words spoken by their virtual interlocutor. The speech that learners produce is recorded by the computer’s microphone, transcribed automatically, and evaluated by the application. The conversation adapts based on the available responses users choose as they work through the lessons.
