In this project, we developed a VR and AI application in which trainees practice their English communication skills in a realistic and challenging business context. The trainee engages in a conversation with an English-speaking, AI-driven virtual person.
The situation is intentionally challenging. The virtual character responds emotionally, encouraging challenging trainees to apply their English accurately and purposefully under stress. The focus is on conducting a clear and professional conversation in English. Trainees are evaluated on word choice, sentence structure, and tone.
The conversation feels natural, and each practice session unfolds differently. Users must listen actively and make deliberate choices on de-escalation in English, while their native language is Dutch. They learn how to guide the conversation effectively in English and gather relevant information to the task at hand.
After the conversation, a virtual coach appears. The coach provides feedback on language use and grammar. Concrete improvement points and alternative phrasings are offered, enabling users to strengthen their English language skills step by step.
This approach makes it possible to:
- develop professional English communication and language skills
- practice safely without performance pressure
- practice conversations multiple times and gain confidence
The combination of VR and AI creates a learning experience to help practice language skills in a challenging work situation.
