| An innovative method for improving English language learners' linguistic skills is augmented reality. This study investigated the impact of a newly developed augmented reality-assisted language learning (ARAL) smartphone application on learning English vocabulary using the phonics technique. Thirty-six first-time language learners, ages 6 to 8, participated in the study. They were randomly divided into two groups of 18: the control group, which received traditional instruction using flashcards and repetition, and the experimental group, which used the ARAL application. Results from an independent sample t-test comparing pre- and post-test scores indicated a significant difference between the two groups (t(24.32) = 8.83, p < 0.001). The experimental group showed a mean gain score of 2.72 (SD = 0.97), significantly higher than the control group's mean gain score of 0.47 (SD = 0.46). These findings provide robust statistical evidence that the ARAL application significantly outperformed traditional methods in vocabulary acquisition. Additionally, structured interviews revealed that the experimental group had a favorable attitude toward using augmented reality in their language learning. This study offers valuable insights for EFL teachers and researchers interested in integrating augmented reality into language education. | ||
