      abstract = {This book presents research and developments in the  virtual, augmented technology and mixed-reality used in  language learning and teaching. It provides the readers  with a comprehensive overview of contextual language  learning with the support of immersive technology. From  theoretical foundations, methodological issues, the  features of virtual and augmented reality, and educational  practices of language learning, to the future of immersive  technology for and research on language learning. During  the past two decades, abundant research on different  realities has recognized the potential of language learning  in virtual, augmented, and mixed-reality environments (Wang  et al., 2020; Lin & Lan, 2015). Given insufficient studies  of Chinese learning in immersive contexts reported in  existing literature, this book includes several excellent  studies about using immersive technologies for Chinese  learning in addition to other foreign langue learning, such  as English as a foreign language (EFL). Since learning  Chinese has grown significantly as a global trend, the  authors vitally consolidate and synthesize various  theoretical foundations, visions, and recent research and  practices in the context of Chinese teaching from broader  and more diverse perspectives. On the other hand, the  chapters about EFL learning also shed light on the research  on contextual language learning. Thus, the chapters  included in this book will likely provide readers with a  deep and extensive understanding of the potential of the  smart combination of immersive technologies and language  learning. More issues for future research will undoubtedly  be inspired by reading the chapters in this book.},
