A Bibliometric Analysis of Augmented Reality in Language Learning
As an emerging technology, augmented reality has been increasingly entering the educational field. Previous studies of AR are strongly associated with scientific education but lack the mention of language learning. This study aimed to analyze the use of AR tools in language learning contexts using the bibliometric tools VOSviewer and CitNetExplorer using both qualitative and quantitative research methods. This study analyzed the top ten authors, sources, countries, and organizations using VOSviewer and established citation networks using CitNetExplorer. The study found that both teachers and students showed a positive attitude toward AR tools in language learning. Games, 3D images, and videos are the main ways to instantiate virtual elements into the real world, and the most widely used tool in AR-assisted learning was HP Reveal. Moreover, the study also found that AR tools could enhance language learning by presenting an immersive learning context, increasing motivation, providing interaction, and reducing anxiety. Future research will contribute to how AR tools influence students’ learning performance and teachers’ teaching activities.
