Abstract/摘要：

Virtual word is the new stage of development of computer technology. People engage in all types of activities in the virtual world such as business and education. Language education can take advantage of this new technology. This article defines the virtual world in a broader sense. Some tools that can be used for teaching in the virtual world are introduced. The author also shares his own experience of using these tools in teaching Chinese. More in-depth study and discussion are needed in the future.

虚拟世界是电脑网络发展的一个新阶段。在虚拟世界里可以进行各种商业和教育活动。语言教育也可以在虚拟世界里得到一席之地。本文广义定位虚拟世界，介绍网络上已有的虚拟世界工具，并且分享在汉语教学中使用网上工具的经验，以引起进一步的探讨。
