The definition of virtual reality comes, naturally, from the definitions for both ‘virtual’ and ‘reality’. The definition of ‘virtual’ is near and reality is what we experience as human beings. So the term ‘virtual reality’ basically means ‘near-reality’. This could, of course, mean anything but it usually refers to a specific type of reality emulation.
It is interactive web 2.0 tool that you can change what is going on in your virtual life by moving. We know the world through our senses and perception systems. In school we all learned that we have five senses: taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing. These are however only our most obvious sense organs. The truth is that humans have many more senses than this, such as a sense of balance for example. These other sensory inputs, plus some special processing of sensory information by our brains ensures that we have a rich flow of information from the environment to our minds. With the help of VR, you can learn a new language fast and quickly which is called ''immersion''. For example, you want to learn english with British accent, but you live in a different city. With the VR, you can go to UK without spending any money and interact with people like being there. While teaching a subject, instead of telling for hours, you can use virtual reality to show content easily. Thus, students will have experiences and they will learn faster. VR makes students' information more permanent. Moreover, learning a language in live virtual classes increases learning process. 
As you can see in the picture, students and teachers can visit a place whose language they learn, and identify the culture or other special things that makes their learning effective.
