VIRGE: tutoring English over the Web through a game

We have developed a virtual reality (VR) game for tutoring English as a foreign language over the Web. The educational game is called VIRGE (virtual reality game for English) and intends to motivate and engage students through the use of a game. We have shown how an ILTS may be combined with the technology of virtual reality games and used over the Web for teaching English as a second language. The benefits of the combination of the above technologies are particularly important for the domain of a foreign language teaching because they allow the creation of engaging and motivating educational applications that are cross-cultural.
