Hello everyone! Today, I will talk about my experience in creating AR-Integrated Teaching Material. Hope you enjoy :)
I worked on this project with my friend Sümeyye Altun, and our target audience was high school English prep class students. Our topic was exploring a city abroad. The city for our project was Roma. Finding 3d objects and 360 videos for students to explore landmarks was actually easier than I thought. We first introduced the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, and the Vatican Museum. Then we went on with La Befana tradition and an assignment about time traveling. There are many sources on the internet that you can utilize for exploratory language learning. In the process, I also used the 360 stories website to see if they work without a problem and I had lots of fun. It felt like I was in Roma!
I believe it is crucial to utilize AR-integrated teaching material for language teaching because it increases students' motivation and enjoyment as I experienced it myself. Moreover, it allows for student-centered learning and creativity in the classroom.
