The Role of Augmented Reality in English Language Teaching: Technical Innovations and Application

Abstract

This study analyzes the effects of augmented reality technology on teaching English as a second language. The article indicates that AR helps classroom teaching and enhances academic results. AR technology enables language tutors to blend time-tested teaching approaches with interactive activities. The research evaluates AR applications; it analyzes how vocabulary development programs and conversation practice interfaces function when integrated with realistic language simulation systems. AR technology in classrooms fosters teachers to develop adaptable learning experiences that support all learning preferences while removing language proficiency barriers for students. Research reveals that augmented reality boosts student motivation while simultaneously enhancing cognitive development and knowledge retention. Learners show substantial improvements in vocabulary cognition, writing, and listening comprehension abilities. The learning process helps students to develop better group collaboration abilities when they receive feedback right away. Augmented reality transforms English language learning into a customized experience that aligns with the digital age. Successful application of AR requires addressing practical concerns with pedagogical and logistical barriers.
