A few posts ago, I wrote a little bit about SecondLife. I mentioned a company actively teaching languages in Secondlife. After doing some research, I've found them.
They are called LanguageLab. There are dozens of language community sites that use state-of-the-art internet resources and techniques to help people learn a language. But LanguageLab takes it a step further by creating an immersive 3D environment, or rather using the unique online interactive world of SecondLife. Thus far, they are focusing on teaching English, but they have plans to expand their products and teach other languages. This is grounbreaking stuff, and this may be a glimpse into the classroom of the future.
