EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF AR/VR TECHNOLOGIES ON LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY DEVELOPMENT AMONG EFL LEARNERS
Abstract
The studies on the subject do not often use enough precision or methodology when collecting statistics. Due to this shortcoming, it becomes harder to show that new programs provide solid results. To resolve this issue, this study worked on making and examining a new educational program planned to increase students' language abilities. Mainly, it was concerned with determining how well the program worked using data and examining its progress as set by the deadline. This research use quantitative study at SMKN 2 Tarakan. Both reading, writing, listening, and speaking were tested using the standardized test to assess language proficiency. An assessment was done before the lessons and exercises, and repeated after 6 meetings. The data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests in the SPSS software. The results suggest that the participants' language improved after they joined the study. The paired sample t-test shows that the t-value was -27.255 and the p-value was 0.000, meaning the difference occurred with a high level of statistical significance. In addition, the findings suggest that the benefits noted were likely due to the education program, as the 95% confidence interval confirmed the mean difference ranged from -38.398 to -33.220. This shows that interventions based on structure can help improve children's language abilities.
