Abstract

This chapter explores the role of collaborative virtual environments (CVE) in the language learning immersion experience. Despite the lack of strong empirical evidence, CVE assisted language learning has become an interesting point in recent research on technology-supported language learning. The current work reviews specific issues in the context of CVE assisted language learning: (a) current research, theory and practice; (b) virtual reality assisted language learning; (c) link between CVEs and Web 2.0.
