Virtual immersive laboratory for the training of health workers helps in the learning process of Italian as a second language for the foreign learners.

Few example scenarios and use cases are shown.We also introduced a frequently asked question chat-bot avatar as a language training tool to increase the attention of the learner in order to improve her/his second language skill.
