“…With a strong emphasis on creating a learning environment that will submerge students into real settings for naturalistic, authentic, and contextualized learning (Brown & Lee, 2015;Saville-Troike & Barto, 2017), the use of immersive VR technology can be maximized in L2 classrooms. By utilizing a customizable VR-based metaverse platform and putting on an HMD with a head-tracking feature, constructivist L2 learning principles such as interactive, motivating, and contextualized learning can be grounded to facilitate L2 learners to explore and learn in the VR-based space (Lee, 2023). In this way, learners will have more memorable learning experiences as they are exposed to vivid and context-basedcontext based L2 speaking practices in this digitalized world.…”

Public speaking often imposes a nerve-wracking atmosphere in the L2 classrooms. Consequently, an alternative to the anxiety-arousing activity by using advanced technology for pedagogy is urgent. Prior publications reported the use of virtual reality (VR) for training public speaking and alleviating students’ public speaking anxiety (PSA). However, no latest review in this area has been published. This present study employed a systematic review to delineate the trends in the latest decade (between 2011 and 2023), synthesizing research outcomes, methodologies, loci, participants, treatment duration, and research focuses. This systematic review was based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Conceptual and theoretical studies were removed, yielding 16 studies with empirical data to be thoroughly examined. Most studies indicated the effectiveness of VR for teaching public speaking and reducing speech apprehension. Several gaps were disclosed, such as the inconsistency of the research findings regarding whether the short duration of VR exposure resulted in the statistically non-significant effects, the unequal distribution of research loci which were mostly reported from the US, the UK, and Europe, and the major focus on English as L1 instead of L2 public speaking training. The results of this review suggest that more pertinent studies in countries with EFL or L2 learning contexts and longer treatment duration be conducted and reported in the globally renowned English-language journals to verify the effectiveness of VR technology in treating PSA.

“…Finally, the access to a virtual space as provided by metaverse platforms has been deemed fitting for a platform to implement game-based learning. Research highlighted enhanced engagement, greater collaboration and social interaction, and high level of interest, enjoyment, and satisfaction with the implementation of game-based learning on metaverse platforms (Kaur et al, 2023;Lee, 2023).…”

This paper explores the design, implementation, and evaluation of an educational game in the context of computer science education, using a Role-Playing Game (RPG) format and deploying it through a metaverse platform. Although gamification and game-based learning have shown promise in raising student motivation and engagement, the integration of the metaverse into these educational games has yet to be fully explored. This study fills this gap by describing the development of an RPG educational game, with a particular emphasis on the compilers design unit of a Computer Science course. The game incorporates educational elements alongside gameplay components to capitalize on the inherent motivation that games inspire. This study explores the feasibility of using widely available platforms like Gather and Google Docs Editor to develop interactive and engaging learning experiences, drawing on the literature on games, play, motivation, and the potential of the metaverse in education. Additionally, the research seeks to analyse student feedback through thematic analysis, providing insights into the utility and educational value of the game. This study contributes to the educational game design field by investigating the use of metaverse platforms for educational game design and evaluating students' opinions. It also offers advice for educators and instructional designers in improving online learning experiences.
