Metaverse Utilization in Literature Education: Focusing on the Creation of a Book Trailer for 『The Tale of the Rabbit』

This paper explores the role that the metaverse can play in the field of literature education following the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, it proposes the creation of book trailers using the metaverse, using『 The Tale of the Rabbit』 as an example applied in middle school literature education. Through this approach, students experience classical literature in a new way, immersing themselves in a metaverse space where reality and virtuality converge. This study analyzes the potential and limitations of the metaverse in literature education and proposes a new approach to literature education suitable for the digital age. Such an approach is expected to stimulate students’ creativity and imagination, and contribute to transliteracy education.
