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.
