Towards Dynamically Adaptable Immersive Spaces for Learning

Abstract

This paper describes the difficulties prepositions pose for students learning English as a second language and proposes novel solutions for teaching based on Virtual Reality (VR), and environments using Artificial Intelligence (AI). It identifies the synergy between Cognitive Linguistics (CL) and VR and describes how VR may be applied to Second Language Acquisition (SLA). This is followed by a proposed integration of AI into a VR environment. The paper then goes on to describe a novel method for creating an intelligent teaching environment for SLA, based on cloning student behaviour, and gives details of the process and a simplified functional example.
