A 3D Situation Language Exercising System in the WWW Environment

Situated learning is a very effective method in learning a language. Applying the multimedia technology to the World Wide Web (WWW) for situated learning is a widely discussed topic and has been extensively researched in recent years. This paper has analyzed the requirements for situated learning and has built an architecture that can help to support linguistic situated learning over the Internet. This architecture does not only preserve the original advantages of the WWW in multimedia and interactive Web pages, but it also includes a 3D environment to simulate real life scenario. Finally, the paper builds a prototype of Internet education’s research plan in French to reveal the possibility of the presented architecture.
