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.

This study aims to measure the perception toward AR technology (H1), the effect of its use on vocabulary development (H2), and its impact on student motivation (H3). In this mixed method research based on convenient sampling, 130 students aged 14 to 15 (9th-graders) from two secondary education schools were assigned to an experimental (n = 64) and a control (n = 66) group. Both groups needed to learn 30 geographic terms in English over four weeks. The control group used a traditional method based on a handbook, while the experimental group was exposed to an AR-based lesson containing the same lexical terms. The instruments involved an English pre-post-test about the target vocabulary, a pre-post-survey, and a class discussion. Quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed through SPSS 20 statistical software and a thematic analysis, respectively. The results evidenced positive attitudes and a strong interest in AR integration in language learning. However, no significant differences were observed regarding vocabulary learning performance between both groups of secondary students.

The availability of AR applications, both vision, and location-based, allows students today to learn foreign languages in a more contextualized and immersive manner, thanks to the use of smartphones and other electronic devices. Thus, this study seeks to analyze and review the recent trends in AR implementation in education and to present the main projects aimed at teaching with AR-based projects that have been published in the latest years in WOS and Scopus.

Consequently, different publications have come out to light about the affordances and limitations of integrating technology AR in the EFL/ESL classroom. Thus, this study seeks to analyze and review the recent trends in AR implementation in the English as a Foreign Language Classroom (EFL) and to present the main projects aimed at teaching English with AR-based projects that have been published in the latest years in WOS and Scopus. Following the methodology, the improvement in the performance of the student in different areas of study has been proved while using AR in EFL teaching.

However, many times the student who has a scholarship to learn a language in the country of origin does not get any positive results. This Final work of Master is intended to establish what facilitates learning and what hinders it. This has been done a study on the motivations and the situation of students who are with an Exchange fellowship at the University of Alcalá in order to establish a series of variables that favor learning. This is why a pre-questionnaire and a post- questionnaire have been delivered to a total of 20 students, although the pre- questionnaire was made by 30, guided to achieve the target mark. In this TFM we will work on several pre-established theories and theses on the subject and extract our own hypothesis.
Keywords: Linguistic exchange, multilingual context, Spanish, acquisition, learning, motivation.
