The intercultural communication competence improvement for pre-service CSL teachers: A blended learning method based on SVVR

Abstract

BACKGROUND: With the growing global influence of new coronary pneumonia and an increasing number of successful education case, spherical video-based virtual reality (SVVR) has arisen as an application for effective integration with teaching and learning. OBJECTIVE: This is a mixed-methods study on SVVR-based training for pre-service CSL teachers to more effectively develop their cross-cultural communication and interaction abilities. METHODS: An experimental strategy was adopted in this work. First, the processing of VR technology for designed TVET courses, including practical training courses, had been completed; The second experiment was a group experiment of one month; Finally, the hypotheses were tested by an independent sample t-Test. RESULTS: Based on experiment data of the learners, this study build a multi-modal hybrid training and recognition model and confirm hybrid approach effectively improves the intercultural communication abilities of pre-service CSL teachers. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study confirm that information technology plays an important role in pre-service CSL teacher training, and teachers should incorporate more information technology, design more hands-on interactive activities and scenarios, and take into account the individual differences of learners in the teaching process. Several policy proposals are offered to ensure that ICT is better integrated into classroom instruction. © 2024-IOS Press. All rights reserved.
