Augmented Reality in learning Malay Language

Expert Review on Mobile Augmented Reality Applications for Language Learning

“…The overall results revealed that the materials of the RakanBM mobile application for Malay Language learning for non-native speakers were relevant, validated by the factors that recorded a high mean: learning outcomes, assessments, effectiveness, and efficiency. The results were similar to previous studies where the mobile application was able to support language learning [6][7][8]12]. In general, the RakanBM application is focused on Malay language learning with validated benefits.…”

“…AR provides simulated access to learning methods and has proved to be an effective 3D visualisation technology in educational areas [17,18]. Ali and Azmi [12] investigated the use of AR for Malay language learning by developing a MAR Malay language application for international students to learn the language. Although the study found that students were satisfied with the developed application, the features and contents could be further extended.…”

“…Although the study found that students were satisfied with the developed application, the features and contents could be further extended. Moreover, the application was only in the early stages and not yet published publicly [12]. Based on the review of relevant studies, it can be concluded that studies on Malay language learning utilising AR are still limited, and further research is needed to deepen the knowledge, especially in supporting language learning.…”

“…The study realised that it was challenging to study and teach foreign languages, which the fundamental principle is to ensure that learners are introduced to the desired foreign language accordingly. At the same time, most of the new applications are limited to elementary-level students [11], and there is also a lack of attractive functionality [12].…”
