The purpose of this paper is to identify the optimal XR tools for cultivating inclusion in a second language classroom that Polish language teachers know and successfully use and which female refugees from Ukraine would like to use. The article is grounded in a project aimed at bridging the substantial gap between refugee women and women with fewer opportunities within the realm of language education. It is acknowledged that women with fewer opportunities (such as migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers) have already coped with significant challenges related to relocation and other traumatic experiences. The project posits that XR tools can be employed to assist these women in acquiring new language skills. The central objective is to establish an XR environment that alleviates additional anxieties associated with Foreign Language Learning (FLL). By offering a broader array of realistic and engaging scenarios, these XR learning environments can facilitate practical activities. Such environments enable students to familiarize themselves with the nuances of language use and develop proficiency beyond the confines of a classroom setting. This approach emphasizes language application rather than rote memorization of closed-system rules. Moreover, the work focuses on standardizing terminology and methodologies through comprehensive literature and Internet research. Finally, the report highlights the latest advancements in Poland concerning the discussed issue.

Vitrual semantics of city In the era of information revolution we are communicating via the web. Reflections, thoughts and information are transmitted by building up the language of augmented reality. In communication networks, while leading a chat, we are also influenced by advertisements. It is a kind of multiple contact with the network of friends, strangers, journalists and advertising agents. Symbols and patterns transmitted by tradition are given their virtual dimension, their universal archetypes adjust their character to the present. The Modern Man, a network user, tries to use the new tool – the computer – more efficiently. The Internet network is often compared to the extension of the human neural system. The computer as a medium of art was used to create an additional space - the virtual reality. It showed how interesting spaces can be created by combining art and technology. The combination of the human specificity of contact, language, and new technology creates tremendous opportunities and threats. Transhumanism is a possibility in which we would seek a symbiosis between the man and technology, so as not to create a conflict between the biological body and its electronic contact networks. The semantics of the city, despite of its changing nature, may have human-specific qualities, but its media expression may allow for incomparably richer network of contacts.
