This study investigated the efficacy of Virtual Reality (VR) in reducing Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) and improving public speaking skills in English language learners. Using Oculus Quest 2 headsets, fifteen participants engaged in four two-minute presentation exercises across two sessions in VR environments that varied in audience size and ethnic composition. These settings facilitated interactive presentations, enabling participants to receive feedback from virtual audiences.
