Virtual reality (VR) technology makes it possible to create an authentic virtual
environment that benefits immersive learning. Therefore, we designed an intercultural learning
activity and applied virtual reality (VR) technology to support it. We aimed toward an investigation
of students’ perceptions of the learning activity, VR technology, and intercultural competence (IC)
development during learning. To this end, students from China and Uzbekistan were invited to
participate in the learning activity. The data was collected through student reports, questionnaires,
and interviews. The results showed that the participants were satisfied with intercultural learning
supported by VR technology. In addition, the results showed that intercultural learning supported
by VR technology was helpful in facilitating IC development. Based on our results, we discuss
implications and offer suggestions for educators and researchers.
