Abstract

This study demonstrates augmented reality (AR) effectively promotes parental involvement in children's Chinese language learning. Based on Ellis' second language acquisition framework, a co-learning AR system was developed to turn parental supervision into active learning support. In a 12-week randomized controlled trial, 48 adolescent learners (8–15 years old) were assigned to three conditions: AR-supported learning, traditional classroom instruction, or online learning. Post-normalization test results showed the AR group improved most significantly, with large effect sizes compared to the traditional (d=1.875, P<0.01) and online groups (d=1.75, P<0.01). Qualitative interviews highlighted gains in learner engagement and self-regulation. The findings indicate AR-assisted parent-child interaction bridges formal and informal learning environments, offering new insights for educational technology design in language acquisition.
