Abstract

In recent years, with the continuous development of international exchanges, fluency in spoken English has become the need and goal of more and more Chinese students. However, domestic classroom teaching cannot meet such needs. In order to solve the problem that oral English is difficult to learn and challenging to practice, this paper designs a spoken English learning system based on VR technology. Creating a language environment with rich interaction not only stimulates and maintains the interest of learners but also allows players to interact with personalized guiding characters. The character is dubbed by native English speakers, assisted by various cultural environments, to create a very close-to-real speaking practice environment for learners. Another feature of this system is that players can improve their English speaking and communicative skills in the game, and learners of different levels can improve from the communication that suits them. It is hoped that this system can provide some reference and inspiration for the new oral English teaching in the future. It is believed that with the support of VR technology, there will be a broader picture for oral English learning in the future.
