Exploring the Potential of Mixed Reality in Enhancing Language Acquisition for EFL Children
Mixed Reality (MR) technology has demonstrated its effectiveness in enhancing education, particularly in task-based training and the visualization of spatial concepts.This study examines the feasibility of using MR to assist EFL (English as a Foreign Language) children in learning English vocabulary and collocations.By analyzing different teaching methodologies, we identify two suitable strategies for MR-based instruction and develop two prototypes: Spelland and VerbVenture.Spelland uses situated learning to help children explore everyday objects and learn vocabulary through context, practicing pronunciation and spelling to earn letters for building CCS CONCEPTS Human-centered computing Mixed / augmented reality.
