Classroom Interaction and Second Language Acquisition in the Metaverse World

Abstract

Classroom interaction is one of the most commonly used teaching methodologies that can be applied to develop linguistic competencies in second language instruction. Interaction in the classroom refers to the conversation between teachers and students, as well as interactions between the students. Active participation and interaction are both critical themes and vastly invaluable concerning the learning of students and second language acquisition. This paper examines how classroom interaction helps students to learn and acquire a second language. Using the findings of previous studies as a baseline, this study reveals some factors that affect how instructors should use this teaching methodology in different situations. In addition, this paper mentions applying innovative ideas for second language acquisition with the support of new scenarios and developed applications (e.g., role-play activities in personalized settings, etc.), aimed at exploring these possibilities for language teaching.
