Abstract

The goal of this study is to see if Augmented Reality (AR) helps to motivate preschool kids and engage them in foreign language learning activities. The study conducts an experimental study to compare traditional approaches with an AR app for teaching a foreign language to preschool kids. Data were collected from experiments performed at three daycares on students at three age groups; 4, 5, and 6 years old. Surveys were also conducted to receive input from teachers and kids. The results show that there is significant engagement increase in learning a foreign language when AR apps utilized in the classroom.
