Resumen

This study explores the transformative role of immersive technology combined with AI-based adaptive learning systems in enhancing the intercultural competence of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. Intercultural competence, critical for effective communication in a globalized world, involves understanding, respecting, and appropriately responding to cultural differences. Immersive technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) provide realistic cultural simulations, while AI-driven adaptive learning personalizes educational experiences to meet individual student needs. Through a mixed-methods approach, the study investigates how these technologies facilitate experiential learning, promote cultural empathy, and improve students' ability to navigate diverse cultural contexts. Results indicate significant improvements in students’ intercultural awareness, communication skills, and motivation to engage with cultural diversity. This research highlights the potential of integrating immersive and adaptive technologies in EFL curricula to prepare learners for meaningful intercultural interactions in academics and beyond.
