Abstract: Engaging in authentic, real-work tasks is a cornerstone in task-based language learning and teaching (TBLT). This study explores how virtual reality (VR) can be integrated into TBLT classrooms to replicate realistic scenario of job interview to enhance language learning. The primary focus of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a VR application called /spi?x/, specifically designed to improve language performance in job interview situations. Ninety-three undergraduate students enrolled in an English Communication course were recruited to participate in the study. The results revealed that students who completed three sessions of /spi?x/ reported to have improved fluency in terms of number of words per minute and number of syllables per minute by 16.4% and 26.37% respectively. It is also found that those who completed the VR treatments displayed a marked increase in fluency compared to their peers who did not. The findings suggest that VR holds promising potential in TBLT classrooms, enriching job interview preparations especially for students with no prior interview experience.
