Purpose This study aims to explore the perceptions of language learners and instructors on using augmented reality (AR) in a hybrid learning environment. Design/methodology/approach Mixed-method research design was used to elicit information from 62 participants on the study’s objective. Data were collected and analyzed to examine the participants’ views on using AR in language teaching in a hybrid environment. Findings This study unveils that while most studies acknowledge AR as an effective instructional delivery, students and instructors perceive some setbacks. Other novel insights provided by this study reveal necessities to consider before implementing AR in classroom settings. Research limitations/implications This study provides insights into the widely reported effectiveness of AR in the English language-teaching domain. This study suggests that considering the dispositions of learners and instructors toward digitally enhanced learning, using AR without good teaching practices and approaches may not yield expected learning outcomes. Originality/value This study advances scientific knowledge on the use of AR in hybrid learning models by providing empirical evidence to show the perceived effectiveness of AR. It further provides a robust understanding of the pedagogical implications of using AR in classroom settings drawing from diverse lenses. This helps ensure that educational settings that integrate AR consider the novel findings of this study before such implementation.
目的本研究旨在探讨语言学习者和教师对在混合学习环境中使用增强现实技术(AR)的看法。设计/方法/方法采用了混合方法研究设计,向 62 名参与者征集有关研究目标的信息。研究结果本研究揭示,虽然大多数研究都承认 AR 是一种有效的教学方式,但学生和教师也发现了一些问题。本研究提供的其他新见解揭示了在课堂教学环境中实施 AR 之前需要考虑的问题。本研究表明,考虑到学习者和教师对数字化强化学习的态度,在没有良好教学实践和方法的情况下使用 AR 可能不会产生预期的学习效果。本研究通过提供实证证据来说明 AR 的感知有效性,从而推进了有关在混合学习模式中使用 AR 的科学知识。研究还从不同的视角对在课堂环境中使用 AR 的教学意义提供了有力的理解。这有助于确保整合 AR 的教育环境在实施之前考虑到本研究的新发现。
