The Effect of Using AR Technology on Language Learning

Abstract

The recent emergence and popularity of digital tools related to Augmented Reality (AR), such as Roar or Aumentaty, has facilitated the integration of this breakthrough technology in Language Learning, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Thanks to the recent worldwide availability of new technological devices, such as tablets and smartphones, AR applications can be effectively used today in language learning with different learning purposes, such as grammar or enhancing the student’s listening skills, among others. Thus, the main purpose of this study aims to examine the use of AR in Language Learning thoroughly and evaluate the possibility of including the tool in today’s education by analyzing the possible advantages and limitations that researchers may have found in their studies.

The Impact of Augmented Reality Technology on Students' Motivation to Learn English

“…Marrahí -Gómez sought to analyze and review recent trends in AR implementation within English as a Foreign Language Classrooms (EFL) and present key projects focused on English instruction through AR-based initiatives published in WOS and Scopus in recent years. While many studies have shown that augmented AR technology is beneficial in enhancing students' motivation to learn, there has been little research on how AR technology increases students' motivation to learn English [22]. The Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction (ARCS) framework was utilized.…”

The Current State of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Adoption in Vietnamese Education: A Teacher’s Perspective on Teaching Natural Sciences

“…The process of AR involves superimposing virtual entities onto real-world images captured by cameras, thus engendering a distinct sense of reality when compared to Virtual Reality (VR) [5]. Its applications are widespread, encompassing domains like industry, education, healthcare, and language acquisition [6][7][8]. AR applications create a three-dimensional reality that presents the digital world as a tangible phenomenon, thereby offering solutions to the challenges encountered by students [6].…”
