The Effect of Enhancing Students’ Learning Motivation on Bilingual Class with Integrating Augmented Reality in a Multimodality Learning Environment

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of enhancing students’ learning motivation on bilingual integrative activities classes with augmented reality (AR) creative video. One hundred and six 5th grade elementary students filled in the motivation questionnaire with Likert 5-point scale after the bilingual classes were conducted, those assigned to the non- augmented reality (AR) group, and an individual AR group. For the non-AR group, students discussed the outdoor activities orally with the traditional teaching method, and the individual AR group used group work with the “AR Makr” APP to make outdoor activities videos which were created on iPad. The results showed that integrating AR enhances students’ learning motivation and self-efficacy in bilingual classes in a multimodality learning environment. It is suggested that teachers can incorporate multimodalities instruction in bilingual and language teaching in order to enhance students’ learning motivation on language.
