Abstract

The recent emergence and popularity of digital tools related to Augmented Reality (AR), such as Roar or Aumentaty, has facilitated the integration of this breakthrough technology in Language Learning, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Thanks to the recent worldwide availability of new technological devices, such as tablets and smartphones, AR applications can be effectively used today in language learning with different learning purposes, such as grammar or enhancing the student’s listening skills, among others. Thus, the main purpose of this study aims to examine the use of AR in Language Learning thoroughly and evaluate the possibility of including the tool in today’s education by analyzing the possible advantages and limitations that researchers may have found in their studies.
