Thrasher, Tricia – CALICO Journal, 2022
Research has noted that virtual reality (VR) environments can lessen language learners' foreign language anxiety (FLA). However, previous research has relied primarily on participants' qualitative opinions, leading to a lack of studies empirically assessing how VR impacts anxiety and, consequently, second language (L2) oral production. This pilot…

Karimi, Honeiah; Sañosa, David Joshua; Hernandez Rios, Kevin; Tran, Phoebe; Chun, Dorothy M.; Wang, Richert; Arya, Diana J. – CALICO Journal, 2023
The conceptualization of multiliteracies initiated by the New London Group (NLG, 1996) emphasized the situated nature of language use as a socially complex network of multimodal engagement. Inspired by this view of language and literacy, computer-assisted language learning and second language acquisition scholars have advocated for a broader scope…

Kaplan-Rakowski, Regina; Papin, Kevin; Hartwick, Peggy – CALICO Journal, 2023
Extended reality (XR) is rapidly gaining attention and popularity; however, scholars confuse what XR technologies are and how they can be applied in language education. This qualitative, exploratory study unveils language teachers' perceptions of XR, which is an umbrella term for virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality…

Bonner, Euan; Lege, Ryan; Frazier, Erin – CALICO Journal, 2023
Virtual reality (VR) has been found to be effective for increasing student motivation and engagement (Parong & Mayer, 2018), experiential learning (Hu-Au & Lee, 2018), and even improving spatial memory (Pollard et al., 2020). However, few studies have moved beyond the novelty of single-lesson VR experiences, nor have they used VR as the…

Smith, Sara A.; Carlo, María Soledad; Park, Sanghoon; Kaplan, Howard – CALICO Journal, 2023
There is increasing evidence supporting the efficacy of augmented reality (AR) education applications, yet comparatively few reports exploring AR for early childhood. Augmented reality is uniquely suited to language instruction and the early elementary context, thus has potential to support the growing number of English language learners (ELLs) in…

Chun, Dorothy M.; Karimi, Honeiah; Sañosa, David Joshua – CALICO Journal, 2022
In line with the 2021 CALICO Conference theme "Global realities," we presented a plenary on how immersive virtual reality (IVR) could be used for second language learning by allowing learners to virtually travel around the globe via headset. The main affordances of virtual reality (VR) technology include immersing learners in an…
