Fan, Min; Antle, Alissa N.; Warren, Jillian L. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2020
In this article, we present a systematic review of literature on augmented reality (AR) supported for early language learning. We analyzed a total of 53 papers from 2010 to 2019 using qualitative analysis with complementary descriptive quantitative analysis. Our findings revealed three main AR learning activities: word spelling games, word…
