ImmerseMe Reflection
The virtual reality experience of ImmerseMe will motivate you to analyze, evaluate, and apply practical everyday concepts in a real world situation. Using the four scaffolded learning modes of the ImmerseMe platform (pronunciation, writing/dictation preview, translation preview, and immersion), you will fully engage with real-life scenarios where you will be prompted to interact and negotiate meaning.
To fully appreciate ImmerseMe’s real-world applications and gaming features to recall, practice, and master (Wallinger, 2000) French, you will provide an in-depth reflection to recognize the multicultural learning experience. This is where you will write about: your assumptions and how they were formed, reflect on what French is, how one learns the language, the evolving understanding of Francophone cultures, and what language means to you personally. In addition, you will assess your learning progress in French, including strengths and challenges.
Pronunciation
I find the pronunciation sections somewhat helpful as they help you gain a better grasp on French accents and the way your mouth needs to form for the words.
Writing/Dictation Preview
Writing is one of the least important sections for me in the immerseme due to me generally not having an issue spelling French words after hearing them for the first time, but I can see how these could be helpful to people who struggle with them.
Translation Preview
The translation sections are nice as they help me learn new words I didn’t fully understand prior to doing this section of the immersemes.
Immersion
These have room to be the most or least beneficial out of all of these. When these sections are done in an actual environment such as a bakery or cafe it gives me the most quality something like this could as it shows me what it would be like to be there and order food or a drink at a cafe. However, when doing the immersions that just involve being seated in a classroom or random white room the lose their purpose and don’t add much since its basically just the pronunciation section.
