KnE Engineering / Jakarta International Conference on Multidisciplinary Studies towards Creative Industries (JICOMS) / Pages 295–305

Abstract

In an era characterized by globalization and digitalization, proficiency in English is a vital skill, particularly for vocational students specializing in multimedia fields. This research provides a concise overview of a study that investigates the use of virtual reality (VR) and digital storytelling (DS) technology as innovative tools to enhance the English-speaking skills of vocational multimedia students. This study aims to assess the efficacy of VR and DS technology in improving the English-speaking abilities of vocational multimedia students, exploring their potential to provide immersive language learning experiences and foster creativity and engagement. The integration of VR and DS technology into English language instruction can play a pivotal role in improving the speaking skills of vocational multimedia students. These technologies offer immersive experiences and creative opportunities that not only enhance language skills but also prepare students for success in a digitally driven, globally connected workforce.
