One of the CEDAR Language Resource Center’s focal areas is the use of virtual reality (VR) to promote transcultural competence by employing VR to provide learners with virtual access to speech communities, both nationally and internationally. This panel will present four different virtual reality projects that have been developed by members of the CEDAR Language Resource Center to facilitate the implementation of open access immersive materials in the Spanish language programs and to measure its impact on student's development of their transcultural competence.
