Abstract

Virtual reality entered a new phase with the introduction of wearable devices represented by Oculus. This study proposes an immersive virtual reality based on Oculus Rift that enables direct immersion in virtual reality from a first-person perspective for English learning. At this point, it is meaningful to provide considerations when designing instruction for language learning through a comprehensive and integrated review of immersive virtual reality. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to find a way to maximize the application of language education in the immersive virtual world. And for the design elements for English learning through immersive virtual reality, the setting of learning theory, consideration of differences in learning, selection of learning tasks, regulation of teachers' influence, determination of types of applied senses, flexibility of design, and usage environment were suggested. By integrating the results, various discussions and directions for instructional design were presented.

가상현실은 오큘러스로 대표되는 웨어러블 장치의 도입과 함께 새로운 국면을 맞이하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 영어학습을 위해 1인칭 시점으로 가상현실에 직접 몰입을 가능하게 하는 오큘러스 리프트(Oculus Rift) 기반의 몰입형 가상현실을 제안한다. 학습자 시점 기반의 몰입형 가상현실에 대한 전반적이고 통합적인 고찰을 통해, 언어학습을 위한 교수설계 시 고려할 사항을 제공하는 것은 의미 있는 일이다. 따라서 본 연구는 몰입형 가상현실의 언어교육 적용의 극대화 방안을 모색하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이러한 연구 목적을 위하여 그간의 몰입형 가상현실의 교육적 활용 사례들을 살펴보았다. 그리고 몰입형 가상현실 기반 영어학습을 위한 설계 요소의 적용을 목적으로 학습이론의 설정, 학습의 차이 고려, 학습과제 선정, 교사의 영향력 규정, 적용 감각의 종류 결정, 설계의 융통성, 사용환경을 제안하였다. 그 결과들을 통합하여 교수설계에 대한 다양한 논의와 방향성을 제시하였다.
