Abstract

This chapter examines the ways in which digital tools like virtual reality (VR) and gamification are changing how young children learn languages. In early childhood education, especially in language development, it highlights the growing significance of digital pedagogy. While virtual reality (VR) creates immersive learning environments that make language acquisition more contextual and dynamic gamification which turns lessons into enjoyable interactive games motivates kids and encourages deeper engagement. As it highlights the cognitive social and emotional advantages of digital play the chapter addresses the theoretical underpinnings of the use of these technologies. It also offers case studies and real-world illustrations of how gamification and virtual reality have been effectively incorporated into early childhood education settings. There is discussion of issues like teacher preparation and accessibility along with solutions to common problems.
