Abstract

This article explores the role of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies in developing students’ linguistic competence in modern educational contexts. It analyzes how immersive and interactive environments contribute to language acquisition by simulating real-life communicative situations. The study highlights that VR and AR tools significantly enhance students’ speaking, listening, and pragmatic skills by providing authentic language exposure. The findings suggest that these technologies increase learner motivation, engagement, and contextual understanding, making language learning more effective and meaningful in comparison to traditional methods.
