20.500.12556/RUL-176362 LingoVerse virtual language learning through gamification The paper explores the use of virtual reality (VR) games for enhancing motivation and effectiveness in foreign language learning through virtual environments. In addition to increasing students’ motivation to study a foreign language, it also aims to explore the use of the app as a complementary tool in formal educational settings. A VR language-learning game, LingoVerse, was developed and tested, with a focus on gamification mechanisms. An evaluation study that included pre- and post-test proficiency tests and user feedback, provides preliminary signals that the game may support language acquisition and motivation. We also consider the technical limitations of VR devices and discuss the challenges reported in interviews by individual users. The findings suggest that the LingoVerse game showed a potentially positive effect on conventional test performance and language learning outcomes, and that VR may be suitable as a supplementary tool for practice in both traditional language education and individual learning. virtual reality e-learning language learning virtual worlds navidezna resničnost e-učenje učenje jezikov navidezni svetovi true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-11-28 08:30:07 2025-11-28 08:30:21 2026-06-08 17:09:39 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 24 str. iss. 4, art. 174 Vol. 29 Dec. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 004.946:37.091.3 1359-4338 10.1007/s10055-025-01250-w 258082563 RAZ_Spruk_Nik_Jan_2025.pdf RAZ_Spruk_Nik_Jan_2025.pdf 1 F508DE69E19FC5F01E1B7AFAE3A84B5E aa3a336520100c2c4aedde66fc3282bd93bedefc7e96f3eedbc950ca5d480516 e9ee9984-cc2c-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=222674 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10055-025-01250-w 1 bd1d72ce-cc2b-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=222667 Fakulteta za računalništvo in informatiko 0 0 0
