Abstract

Although the use of Augmented Reality (AR) has been widely investigated by previous researchers, only a few studies specifically focus on how teachers implement AR flashcards in teaching vocabulary, particularly for Generation Alpha learners. This study aims to explore how teachers implement Augmented Reality (AR) flashcards in teaching vocabulary to Generation Alpha learners and to describe the teachers’ challenges in using Augmented Reality (AR) flashcards for teaching English vocabulary to Generation Alpha learners. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design conducted in a primary school in Pekalongan. The participants consisted of two English teachers who were selected based on their experience in teaching vocabulary and using AR flashcards in the classroom. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that teachers implemented AR flashcards through three instructional stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. In the planning stage, teachers prepared vocabulary materials and learning activities suited to Generation Alpha learners. During the implementation stage, AR flashcards were used through guided scanning activities, visual demonstrations, and interactive tasks to support learners’ vocabulary understanding. In the evaluation stage, teachers assessed learners’ vocabulary mastery through observation and follow-up activities. However, several challenges were identified, including technical issues, classroom management difficulties, time constraints, and learners’ tendency to become overly focused on AR animations. These findings imply that the use of AR flashcards requires adequate preparation and classroom management to ensure meaningful vocabulary learning for Generation Alpha learners.
