Abstract
The Metaverse, a three-dimensional (3D) virtual world network that includes social and economic interactions through virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices, has been recognized as a transformative concept in a variety of fields, including education. As technology advances at a rapid pace, the potential of the Metaverse to revolutionize teaching and learning has become increasingly prominent. Particularly in English education, the Metaverse offers promising solutions to address the challenges of oral English education during the COVID-19 era. This paper explores the potential of the Metaverse in enhancing oral English education and highlights its future possibilities. Drawing from the realms of AR and VR, this paper also examines teaching approaches and strategies that integrate the Metaverse into oral English instruction. By leveraging the immersive and interactive nature of the Metaverse, educators or students can create engaging learning experiences that foster oral English communication skills.
