虚拟现实教育应用 - 学习回顾

D

Virtual reality is rapidly changing the way education is being imparted in some of the leading schools worldwide. The transfer of knowledge is no longer restricted to pen and paper, blackboard and chalk, and PowerPoint presentations. It has taken a turn towards experience-based learning in its truest form. This is so because, with virtual reality, the observers are transported into a whole new world which has been designed to provide visual and touchable stimuli to them, allowing more knowledge to be kept in mind.

In recent years, the concept of virtual reality-based language learning is starting to come into focus. In order to be fluent in any given language, or have a sound grasp of it, you have to be immersed in an environment where it is the primary medium of communication. Think of it like this. If you are learning Spanish in the Netherlands, you won't have adequate exposure to the language, but if you choose to learn Spanish in Spain, or any other Spanish - speaking country, you are far more likely to succeed, because you will have countless avenues to practice your language skills in a real world setting.

This leads us to an important point - most people who are learning a foreign language are nor exposed to favorable linguistic conditions like the ones mentioned earlier. Virtual reality is seeking to bridge this gap by exposing the subject to a virtual environment where their chosen language is the main mode of communication.

Since the arrival of user-friendly virtual reality gear, some applications have been designed. House of Languages is one of them. It is already available on the Gear VR. It involves an animated raccoon that is looking for you to find certain objects in a virtual environment, whose names would be in the language that you are learning. Often you will hear the name, or the name will appear as a thought - bubble over the raccoon's head. Then you will have to look through the environment to find the object in question. There are several environments in this VR experience, each with its own set of animated objects.

Virtual reality is definitely showing increasing promise in the educational sector and the day isn't far away when it will become one of the major media in education. What about you? Would you learn a new language in virtual reality?

题目解析

推理判断题。根据第二段“In recent years, the concept of virtual reality-based language learning is starting to come into focus. In order to be fluent in any given language, or have a sound grasp of it, you have to be immersed in an environment where it is the primary medium of communication. Think of it like this. If you are learning Spanish in the Netherlands, you won’t have adequate exposure to the language, but if you choose to learn Spanish in Spain, or any other Spanish - speaking country, you are far more likely to succeed, because you will have countless avenues to practice your language skills in a real world setting. (近年来，基于虚拟现实的语言学习概念开始成为人们关注的焦点。为了流利地说任何一种语言，或者对它有一个良好的掌握，你必须沉浸在一个环境中，它是主要的交流媒介。这样想。如果你在荷兰学习西班牙语，你不会有足够的机会接触这门语言，但如果你选择在西班牙或任何其他西班牙语国家学习西班牙语，你更有可能成功，因为你将有无数的途径在现实世界中练习你的语言技能)”可推知，作者在第二段提到在荷兰学习西班牙语以强调语言学习环境的重要性。故选B。
