Compendium of practices and scenarios for Augmented Reality in language learning

Summary

The Compendium of practices and scenarios for Augmented Reality in Language Learning can serve as a practical guide for language teachers and learning designers who are exploring the possibilities of immersive and AI-assisted learning. The compendium contains a collection of learning scenarios, descriptions of how these scenarios were implemented with AR and AI, and the results of their evaluation in diverse educational contexts. The contents of this compendium originate in the creative process of interdisciplinary collaboration between language teachers, linguists, and researchers and developers of educational technology, AR and AI fields. The work has been done in the context of the Augmented Reality Instructional Design for Language Learning – ARIDLL project.

The compendium document consists of three parts.

The first part introduces the process we used in the generation of ideas, collection and refinement of learning scenarios for language learning with AR and some also with AI.

The second part contains the summaries of pilots, which evaluate different language learning scenarios that utilize AR and AI materials. We present descriptions of the AR- and AI-based learning activities, descriptions of the interventions, participants and data that were collected in each pilot, and summaries of the results of the pilots.

The third part of the document contains a collection of prompts that were designed for AI-assisted language learning, including the prompts that were used in the earlier presented pilots. The prompts have been designed and validated according to an original methodology that is presented in the technical recommendation, developed in the ARIDLL project.
