EFL learners tend to ignore the importance of understanding English phonetics in spite of its significance in language acquisition process. The failure of using and understanding English phonetics leads to mispronunciation issues which in turn impede both oral and written communication. Concerned with this issue, the research developed the use of augmented reality (AR) technology to facilitate English phonetics learning processes. The technology combined virtual objects and video clips in more attractive and interactive learning environment. This study described the steps and procedures of developing augmented reality as English Phonetic learning media and disclosed how the students utilized this media in their learning processes.
