Resources must be carefully planned when using virtual simulation technology in educational settings, which has been slowly advancing in recent years. To ensure the viability and efficacy of the resources, the design of virtual simulation experiment resources in the language category must take into account a wide range of factors, including the experimental objectives, virtual settings, learning content, interaction strategies, evaluation techniques, technical implementation, and student differences.
In order to analyze the chosen 9 evaluation mechanism samples (such as the selection criteria of national virtual simulation experiment teaching centers, the construction and sharing application specifications of virtual simulation experiment teaching courses, etc.) and 39 language categories, this paper adopts the method of comparative research and case analysis. The sample cases of the instructional materials for virtual simulation experiments were compiled, contrasted, evaluated, and analyzed. The current state of virtual simulation use in language course instruction and the major facets of resource design are thoroughly examined.
The study discovered that: (1) The necessity of topic selection and the normative description of the content are broad and unspecific; (2) More than 30% of the project's experimental resources are designed haphazardly, and approximately 72% of experimental projects will receive operation instructions and prompts of wrong operation steps. (3) In the entire sample, more than half of the experimental evaluation components are ambiguous; (4) The operating environment's level of optimization is lacking, and there have been several test freezes.
This paper develops seven design principles for virtual simulation experiment resources in language categories through theoretical analysis and practical case research. These design principles include teaching objectives, teaching content, teaching mode, teaching evaluation, research and development technology, operating environment, and sharing effects. In addition, it suggests a virtual simulation experiment resource design framework for language categories that combines demand analysis, resource design, technology development, and evaluation feedback. This framework also offers resource design implementation pathways for educational developers. It is hoped that this research can provide references for the developers and designers of virtual simulation in the language category, and jointly promote the scientific, systematic and standardized design and development of virtual simulation experiment resources.

Abstract Summary
In order to ensure the practicality and efficacy of the resources, the design of language virtual simulation experimental resources must take into account the experimental objectives, virtual scenarios, learning content, interaction methods, assessment methods, technical implementation, and student differences. This paper adopts a combination of comparative research method and case study method to summarize, compare, test and analyze the nine selected evaluation mechanism samples with 39 sample cases of language virtual simulation experimental teaching resources. Through theoretical analyses and practical case studies, seven principles of language virtual simulation experimental resources design are constructed, including teaching objectives, teaching content, teaching mode, teaching evaluation, research and development technology, operating environment, sharing effect, design ideas and requirements, design system and framework. It is hoped that this paper provides reference for language virtual simulation developers and designers, and jointly promotes the scientific, systematic and standardized design and development of virtual simulation experimental resources.
