Learning From Yourself: Effects of Doppelgängers on Foreign Language Anxiety, Trust, and Learning Outcomes


Abstract We investigate the role of doppelgängers on foreign language anxiety, trustworthiness, and Spanish vocabulary recall. Participants (n = 31) completed three Spanish language lessons presented by a doppelgänger, a generic VH, or a disembodied voice in immersive or desktop VR; completed the Foreign Language Anxiety Classroom Scale (FLACS), Ohanian inventory on trustworthiness; and were assessed on vocabulary recall. Our findings suggest potential avenues for leverage with the design of VHs for foreign language learning.
