Abstract

The purpose of this study is to deeply analyze the application scope of virtual reality technology in architectural English teaching, and to use specific examples and effectiveness evaluation to prove its potential value in enhancing students’ professional English ability and practical skills. It also deeply explores the design of teaching content integrated with virtual reality, technical implementation, educational application, and student response and communication interaction. 120 third-year students majoring in architecture used Oculus Rift S helmets to study in a 16-week course. The teaching content included virtual site visits, design discussion, and simulated project management. The results of the teaching effectiveness evaluation showed that the students’ mastery of professional knowledge vocabulary increased from 65% to 85%, their practical application ability was significantly improved, the task completion time was reduced by 33.3%, the English oral and written scores increased by 60%, and their curiosity and involvement, teamwork and communication skills were also significantly improved. The conclusion shows that virtual reality technology has significantly improved the teaching effect of architectural English with the help of immersive and interactive teaching methods.
