The perception of EFL teachers' metaverse integration : A case study in English language teaching

To create a modern teaching environment, language instructors need to acquire awareness about their own perceptions in order to make use of Metaverse and its equipment, and these perceptions lead them to appropriate practices for their own contexts. It is crucial to equip language teachers with the necessary practical skills and support systems for effectively integrating Metaverse technology into their teaching practices.On the contrary, problems in technology infrastructure, insufficient training, and unequal access represent the converse aspect. To address these challenges and maximise the potential of the new technology in education, the study underscores specialised professional programs and policy alterations. Therefore, this study examines the viewpoints and actions of EFL instructors in Turkey working in private high schools concerning the integration of metaverse technology by employing comprehensive research methodology methods.
