Abstract

In the context of hybrid language teaching, teachers can supplement face-to-face classes by providing learners with a more immersive and personalized learning experience via the Metaverse. This can assist learners in interacting, communicating, and working on collaborative projects with other students. However, the Metaverse and its current components call into question teachers’ knowledge and pedagogical practices, raising new questions, particularly about how the Metaverse will enrich language teaching. Indeed, the use of the Metaverse in language teaching is evolving slowly, raising many questions about its contributions and limitations. Our research serves two functions. First, we’ll go over the Metaverse’s benefits and drawbacks for language teaching. Our research serves two functions. First, we’ll go over the Metaverse’s benefits and drawbacks for language teaching. The second goal of this research is to investigate stakeholders’ perceptions of the Metaverse’s use: Can students better interact in these virtual worlds? Does the Metaverse open up new pedagogical possibilities for language teachers? A questionnaire about the Metaverse was distributed to 124 language students and 23 language teachers for this purpose. We were able to investigate stakeholders’ perceptions of this virtual world by analyzing the collected data.
