Abstract

With the development of virtual simulation technology, the construction of virtual simulation laboratories has become an urgent requirement for foreign language teaching reform in universities. Although virtual simulation teaching has made progress in teaching applications, it still faces challenges such as insufficient technological depth, weak interdisciplinary collaboration, and low resource utilization. To address these issues, this paper proposes a five-in-one teaching reform paradigm of "Scenario-Technology-Data-Discipline-Industry" and the construction framework of a virtual simulation laboratory. Taking the course "Business Interpretation" as an example, a virtual simulation teaching project is designed to promote the construction and teaching application research of foreign language virtual simulation laboratories.
