“…Teachers used this application to convert the images into 3D, which enabled students to visualize the learning content. Some researchers developed their own learning content with the help of Unity [24,42,46,[52][53][54][55] and Vuforia [24,52,53,56], it led to these two technical tools were frequently used in language research. Unity was a game engine and Vuforia was a software for users to create AR applications.…”

This paper provided a systematic review of previous Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) studies on language learning. A total of 88 articles were selected and analyzed from five perspectives: their ways of integrating AR or VR tools in language learning; main users of AR and VR technologies; major research findings; why AR and VR tools are effective in promoting language learning; and the implications. It was found that (1) immersing learners into virtual worlds is the main approach to language learning in AR and VR studies; (2) university students were the main users of AR/VR technologies; (3) the major research findings concerning the benefits of AR and VR included improvement of students’ learning outcomes, enhancement of motivation, and positive perceptions towards using AR and VR; (4) AR and VR tools promoted language learning through providing immersive learning experience, enhancing motivation, creating interaction, and reducing learning anxiety; and (5) implications identified from previous research include the need of providing training for teachers, enlarging sample sizes, and exploring learner factors such as learner engagement and satisfaction.

“…For example, researchers have integrated augmented reality technology into game-based learning and reported its significantly positive effects on improving learning experience and boosting learner motivation [ 34 ]. This technology was also reported as effective in enhancing the effectiveness of SRLL by increasing learner attention and reinforcing learning materials [ 49 ]. Thus, augmented reality technology may be effective in supporting GBSRLL and can be investigated in future research.…”

Game-based self-regulated language learning: Theoretical analysis and bibliometrics

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Game-based learning and self-regulated learning have long been valued as effective approaches to language education. However, little research has been conducted to investigate their integration, namely, game-based self-regulated language learning (GBSRLL). This study aims to conceptualise GBSRLL based on the combination of theoretical analysis, thematic evolution analysis, and social network analysis on the research articles in the fields of game-based language learning and self-regulated language learning. The results show that GBSRLL is a new interdisciplinary field emerging since the period from 2018 to 2019. Self-regulated learning strategies that can be performed in GBSRLL, the effects of GBSRLL on learners’ affective states, and the features in GBSRLL were the prominent research topics in this field. Its theoretical foundation centres on the positive correlations between learner motivation, self-efficacy, and autonomy and the implementation of game-based learning and self-regulated learning. It is feasible to conduct GBSRLL due to the strong supportiveness of game mechanics for various phases and strategies of self-regulated learning. More contributions to this new interdisciplinary field are called for, especially from the aspects of the long-term effects of GBSRLL on academic performance and the useful tools and technologies for implementing GBSRLL.

“…Writing skill was also experimentally researched about AR and the results showed that students employing AR in writing had better results in content control, article structure and wording (Wang, 2017). A very detailed research study also found AR-enhanced writing instruction's contribution to "long-term memory, motivation, and self-regulation of cognitive processes in writing" (Lin et al, 2020).…”

The purpose of this paper is to present a review of Augmented Reality (AR) technology as an educational tool for foreign language education. Following a short yet comprehensive literature review, the paper reviews educational AR technology in terms of learning theories, learning pedagogies, teachers, students, culture, infrastructure, and sustainability based on the framework developed by Osterweil et al. (2016) for evaluating the appropriateness of educational technology use in global development programs. The review showed that AR technology provides several benefits for language learning; however, it is not ready for total integration into language classes. The paper also provides practical suggestions for activities enriched with AR in four language skills and recommended applications. This review offers various implications for teachers, teacher educators, researchers and coursebook developers.
