The virtual reality experience of ImmerseMe motivated me 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), I fully engage with real-life scenarios where I was 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, I provide an in-depth reflection to recognize the multicultural learning experience. This is where I write about: my 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 me personally. In addition, I assessed my learning progress in French, including strengths and challenges.
