| Abstract: research explores the role that Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality may play in enhancing the effectiveness of field training among English language teachers in Kuwait. This was based on an overview using descriptive-analytical methodology for estimating current problems arising from field teacher training with the potential benefits accruing from using VR/AR to enhance this component, while incorporating perceptions and acceptance of such training devices held by teacher trainees. The population of the study consisted of all English language teachers in public schools in Kuwait. The size of the population was N = 1,898. A stratified random sample of 320 teachers was selected from the five educational districts of Al Asima, Hawalli, Al Farwaniya, Al Ahmadi, and Al Jahra. The data was collected through the use of a questionnaire that was divided into two parts: one for demographic information and another consisting of 30 items distributed across three main axes: traditional training challenges, potential VR/AR implementation, and teacher perceptions. This research, therefore, will go some way toward helping the realization of the goals set forth in Kuwait Vision 2035 in relation to the integration of immersive technologies into the educational training systems. | ||||
