Abstrak:
This article explores the theoretical foundations of virtual language laboratories and their role in enhancing English language teaching in digital learning environments. Virtual language labs are defined as technology-based platforms that integrate audio, video, interactive tasks, and real-time communication tools to support the development of language skills. The study examines key pedagogical theories that justify the use of virtual labs, including communicative language teaching, constructivist learning theory, and multimedia learning principles. These frameworks emphasize active learner participation, social interaction, and multimodal input as essential conditions for effective language acquisition.
