ABSTRACT
This literature review explores the potential of VR (Virtual Reality) games that incorporate drama education techniques to enhance English language learning for elementary school students in China. The review begins by highlighting the benefits of gamification and the potential of games to facilitate language acquisition. The limitations of traditional drama education are discussed, including limited opportunities to satisfy students’ preferences, different learning goals for each student, high time costs, and limited hardware facilities in schools. Researchers have found that AI (Artificial Intelligence) technologies, in combination with VR games, can provide personalized feedback and adaptive learning experiences, potentially creating a more engaging and personalized language learning experience for Chinese elementary school students. The review concludes that game-based learning through VR, incorporating drama education techniques, has the potential to significantly improve English language proficiency among Chinese elementary school students, while addressing the challenges of traditional drama education. More research is needed to establish the efficacy of this method and its possible impact on language learning results. Therefore, this paper contributes to the field by proposing game-based VR learning with drama education techniques to enhance English proficiency among Chinese elementary students, addressing challenges of traditional drama education.
