In response to contemporary needs and 21st-century abilities, the blooming of technology has become a revolutionary power in English Language Teaching especially for generation Z. This makes conventional learning media less interesting for them. Hence, using advanced technology in education like Virtual Reality is necessary for this tech-savvy youth. In this study, the kind of VR used is MilleaLab (https://www.millealab.com/id) which offers easy, quick, and cheaply accessible educational content in 3D.
This study intends to give students an interesting learning process, especially when creating descriptive text, by combining immersive learning media with proper teaching strategy which help the students with visualizing the object for their writing. Thus, the objective of this study is to determine whether there is a significant difference in descriptive text writing skill between the students who are taught using MilleaLab as Virtual Reality in Guided Writing Strategy and the students who are taught using visual pictures in Guided Writing Strategy.
This study used quantitative research with quasi experimental design. To collect the data, the writer employs test as the instrument. This study used purposive sampling by conducted two classes for the sample totalling 40 students. In this study, the experimental group was taught using MilleaLab as VR in Guided Writing Strategy, whereas the control group was taught using Visual Pictures in Guided Writing Strategy.
The study results indicate that MilleaLab, utilized as a Virtual Reality (VR) media in Guided Writing Strategy, significantly improve students' descriptive text writing skill. The Mann-Whitney test show a significance value of 0.002 (< 0.05), indicating the significant difference between the experimental and control groups. Furthermore, the N-Gain analysis indicated a higher mean score in the experimental group (0.64) compared to the control group (0.57), with both groups classified within the "medium" improvement category.
The results affirm that the immersive and interactive environments offered by MilleaLab improve students' motivation, visualization, concept organization, and writing skill. Consequently, the integration of VR technology into writing teaching improves the meaningful and effective language learning experiences.
