Realitea is an initiative at the intersection of technology, reflection, and experiential learning. Our mission is to explore how immersive tools and AI-enhanced environments can support people in understanding themselves and the world around them through deeper, more meaningful reflection.
FFD – Researching Through Design and Reflection (University of Stuttgart)
A Realitea-affiliated initiative in foreign language education that supports research-based engagement with teaching practices. It offers opportunities to join a virtual community, submit research questions, involve classes in studies, or conduct independent research.
OASIS – Open Accessible Summaries in Language Studies
OASIS holds one-page, non-technical summaries of published language-related research, making this research openly available and easily accessible to anyone who might be interested.
Realitea is also supported and inspired by a range of related research efforts:
IRIS – Instruments for Research into Language Studies
A curated, open-access repository of research instruments and data used in language learning and teaching research. IRIS supports transparency, replication, and wider access to validated research tools.

A European Centre for Modern Languages initiative promoting the use of ICT in language education. It provides a searchable inventory of reviewed digital tools and open resources, alongside training for teachers and education stakeholders.
Collaborative Action Research Network (CARN)
An international network fostering high-quality, critical, and creative inquiry into professional practice through action research.
DigiLTE
A project advancing digital transformation in language teacher education by using conversation analytic methods and real classroom data to design new, evidence-based training approaches.
MenTRnet (Mentoring Teacher-Research Network)
A global community supporting mentors of teacher-research in English language teaching. Activities include annual workshops, mentoring festivals, and events that support the mentoring and development of teacher-led classroom research.
Teacher Research Literacy (TREL)
A Nordic-Baltic project fostering collaborative inquiry and reflective dialogue among educators to build research literacy and continuous professional learning.
IATEFL ReSIG
A practitioner-driven network supporting accessible and relevant classroom-based research. ReSIG promotes teacher-led inquiry and global exchange through webinars, publications, and outreach.
