In this section, I share my published articles and research contributions on virtual reality in English language teaching (ELT) and digital innovations in education. These works reflect my ongoing efforts to bridge theory and practice, offering insights that may inspire educators, researchers, and practitioners interested in transformative teaching methods.
LEARNING THROUGH VIRTUAL REALITY: RESULTS OF A PILOT STUDY OF ENGLISH
This paper presents the results of a pilot study on the integration of virtual reality (VR) technology, namely head-mounted devices (HMDs) such as Google Cardboard, in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL). The study focused on students’ perceptions of learning English through VR. The results showed that students’ perceptions of using VR in English lessons were very positive.
The purpose of this study is to analyse the issues of self-development and improving self-efficacy during travel. It also explores learning opportunities for the educational tourism industry because of its advantages for human health, particularly for coping with burnout. The research method is a theoretical analysis of the secondary data. This study considers such terms as tourism, self-development, self-efficacy, hybrid tourism, Virtual Reality (VR) technology, and burnout. At this stage, there are studies demonstrating the interaction between tourism psychology and education. As a practice with strong change characteristics, tourism can temporarily change a person's identity and re-recognize oneself, thereby helping to enhance self-efficacy and change and improve oneself in the direction, degree and intensity required.
ENHANCING LANGUAGE LEARNING THROUGH VR: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF GLOBAL AND LOCAL APPROACHES
The integration of Virtual Reality (VR) into language learning has gained momentum globally, offering immersive and interactive experiences. However, implementation varies significantly across regions due to financial, technical, and pedagogical constraints. This paper compares global advancements in VR-supported language learning with local challenges, highlighting key barriers and proposing strategies to bridge the gap between innovation and accessibility.
