Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) technology significantly enhances learners’ cultural immersion, stimulates engagement, and improves pedagogical outcomes. This study develops a tiered VR-enhanced Japanese cultural curriculum grounded in embodied cognition theory and constructivist principles. The framework synergizes immersive VR scenarios with language tasks through a three-phase cognitive progression model: foundational cultural norm training via situational simulations at the introductory level; aesthetic perception deepening and convention internalization through multimodal interaction at the intermediate level; and cultivation of cross-cultural critical thinking via cultural conflict decision-making at the advanced level. An iterative “perception-practice-reflection” cognitive cycle integrates formative-summative assessments within a multidimensional evaluation system. Empirically validated through controlled experiments, the curriculum demonstrably enhances cultural comprehension depth, contextual language application competence, and learning motivation. Our contributions—a VR-integrated pedagogical framework, granular resource design methodology, and multidimensional assessment scheme—offer innovative paradigms for Japanese cultural education.
