Abstract:
The traditional learning environment often lacks interactivity, which can impede the learning process for young students, particularly in subjects like phonetics, where engagement is crucial for success. This research explores the development and implementation of an interactive learning project aimed at enhancing the educational experience for school pupils by leveraging augmented reality (AR) technology. By overlaying digitally created content such as computer-generated graphics, videos, text, and sound on top of a physical view, AR provides an immersive and engaging platform for students to interact with real and virtual elements. The proposed System focuses on fostering a better understanding and faster Learning of phonetics among students by incorporating interactive features into their learning environment. This approach seeks to bridge the gap between conventional teaching methods and the need for more engaging educational experiences, particularly for young learners who struggle with traditional phonetics education approaches. To evaluate the effectiveness of the AR-based interactive learning project, a pilot study will be conducted in selected schools, comparing the learning outcomes and engagement levels of students using the AR platform against those in a traditional learning environment. Data will be collected and analysed to assess the impact of the AR intervention on students' learning progress, engagement, and overall satisfaction with the educational process. If successful, implementing this AR-based interactive learning project in schools could revolutionise phonetics education, leading to improved learning outcomes and more engaging student learning experiences. Moreover, this research could serve as a foundation for future studies examining the broader applicability of AR technology in various educational contexts.
