The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of Virtual Reality (VR) based teaching methods on Chinese language learning. A quasi-experimental research design was employed. A total of 351 participants learning Chinese as a second or foreign language were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The selected participants were divided into two groups (an experimental group of N=176 and a control group of N=175). The questionnaire method was used to collect data during pre- and post-tests from the students and analyzed using SPSS. The experimental group achieved significantly higher scores across all variables (p < .001). The VR environment improved language skills and cultural knowledge, along with motivation to learn (mean difference= 0.074 to 0.629). Furthermore, findings confirmed that the VR-based intervention considerably contributed to the students ' Chinese language competency and cross-cultural awareness. (ηp² = 0.229–0.323). This examination uniquely assesses how incorporating VR-based technology into educational processes can enhance learning outcomes. Virtual reality-based learning is an effective tool that has the ability to help students learn better and increase their motivation for studying. Therefore, the application of VR technology and context-based activities during the language learning process will lead to improved vocabulary and pronunciation.</p> 2026-09-29T05:47:38Z Dataset Dataset 10.6084/m9.figshare.34021359.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Enhancing_Chinese_Language_Learning_Through_Virtual_Reality_Cultural_Understanding_Pronunciation_Vocabulary_Engagement_and_Sentence_Construction/34021359 CC BY 4.0
