Workshop by IATEFL LT SIG
How can we integrate existing VR material in the classroom for meaningful language learning? What material is available and what technology is necessary to take the leap? How can our students develop critical thinking and communicative skills when designing a VR Project? This workshop shows how to adapt VR material and engage 21st century learners through peer-teaching.
