Augmented reality technology in the design of the educational process when teaching a foreign language

The article considers an innovative tool of modern language education: augmented reality technology. The relevance of the chosen research topic lies in the fact that the rapid growth of information and telecommunication technologies has a significant impact on the modern educational landscape and opens up new prospects for the creation, integration, and combination of various innovative pedagogical technologies. Thus, such innovations are a strategic priority of the modern educational process and allow it to reach a qualitatively new level. The purpose of this study is to review the possibilities of integrating augmented reality technology into the design of the educational process for the formation of foreign language skills. Within the framework of the proposed study, the descriptive method is fundamental, including elements of review, interpretation, comparison, and description. The article discusses options for integrating augmented reality technology into the educational process in the context of teaching a foreign language, provides examples and describes AR applications used in educational activities, and analyzes the didactic potential of AR applications for the formation of certain foreign language skills. The analysis allows us to conclude that augmented reality technology is a valuable innovative teaching tool and has high linguistic and didactic potential; however, its integration into the practice of language teaching requires careful pedagogical planning.
