This study investigated the application of virtual reality as a resource in educational methodologies within the English courses at KeepGoing VR. The objective was to analyze its implementation, perceptions, and effects on English language learning. A qualitative methodology with a phenomenological design was employed, using semi-structured interviews conducted with English students from KeepGoing VR. The results indicate that virtual reality facilitates more effective and meaningful English learning compared to traditional methods. Three key aspects were identified: adaptive learning, which allows for personalized teaching and flexibility; meaningful learning, where new knowledge connects with prior experiences, enabling students to internalize the language in a practical and highly relevant way; and the development of digital competencies, which significantly enhances both technological and communicative skills required today. It is concluded that virtual reality transforms English learning into a more natural and interactive experience, facilitating practice in realistic environments and the development of digital competencies.

摘要

This study investigated the application of virtual reality as a resource in educational methodologies within the English courses at KeepGoing VR. The objective was to analyze its implementation, perceptions, and effects on English language learning. A qualitative methodology with a phenomenological design was employed, using semi-structured interviews conducted with English students from KeepGoing VR. The results indicate that virtual reality facilitates more effective and meaningful English learning compared to traditional methods. Three key aspects were identified: adaptive learning, which allows for personalized teaching and flexibility; meaningful learning, where new knowledge connects with prior experiences, enabling students to internalize the language in a practical and highly relevant way; and the development of digital competencies, which significantly enhances both technological and communicative skills required today. It is concluded that virtual reality transforms English learning into a more natural and interactive experience, facilitating practice in realistic environments and the development of digital competencies.
