We had to use AR (Augmented Reality) or VR (Virtual Reality) to make language learning more interesting, and we decided to use AR with my group friends.  AR   adds digital images or information to the real world. For example, when you use an app on your phone or tablet, AR can show you extra details or images on the screen, like a 3D model of a building or labels on objects.

You usually wear a headset that covers your eyes and sometimes headphones for sound, which makes you feel like you are actually inside the virtual world.

After finishing the video, we created a quiz using Wordwall to help students practice the vocabulary. We wanted the video to be engaging and informative, so we created a story around a sporty family, the Smith Family, who would help introduce the vocabulary. The flipped classroom approach allows students to learn ne...
