Construction of a blended teaching model for foreign language practical courses using virtual reality technology
基于虚拟现实技术的外语专业实践课程混合教学模式构建

摘要

本文探讨了基于虚拟现实技术的外语专业实践课程混合教学模式的构建与应用。通过结合虚拟现实技术与翻转课堂、任务驱动等现代教学方法，旨在突破传统教学模式的局限，提升教学的实践性与个性化，进而提高外语教学效率与质量。本文分析了虚拟现实环境下混合教学模式的构建方案，重点讨论了情境式、任务型教学法与多元化考核方法的应用，旨在促进学生语言能力、跨文化交际能力、相关专业能力以及自主学习能力、团队合作精神等综合素养的培养。同时，本文指出该模式在实施过程中面临设备成本高、教师技术素养不足、学生适应难等挑战，解决这些问题需要各方共同努力。总体而言，基于虚拟现实技术的混合教学模式展现出广阔的应用前景，未来可通过进一步的实证研究，优化其在不同语言专业中的教学效果，为外语教学改革提供更加多元的路径与选择。

Abstract

This study explores the construction and application of a blended teaching model for foreign language practical courses based on virtual reality (VR) technology. By integrating VR technology with modern teaching methods such as flipped classrooms and task-based approaches, the model aims to overcome the limitations of traditional teaching methods, enhance the practical and personalized nature of teaching, and ultimately improve the efficiency and quality of foreign language teaching and education. The paper analyzes the construction of the blended teaching model in a virtual reality environment, with a focus on the application of situational, task-based teaching methods and diversified assessment approaches. The goal is to promote the development of students' language skills, intercultural communication abilities, professional competencies, as well as their autonomous learning abilities and teamwork spirit. Additionally, the paper highlights the challenges faced in implementing this model, such as high equipment costs, insufficient teacher technological proficiency, and students' difficulties in adapting to the new system, emphasizing that resolving these issues requires joint efforts from all stakeholders. Overall, the VR-based blended teaching model demonstrates broad prospects for application, and further empirical research can optimize its effectiveness across different language majors, providing a more diverse range of pathways and options for foreign language education reform.
