ARIDLL Project Reaches Successful Completion: Advancing Language Learning Through Augmented Reality
The Cyprus Interaction Lab (CIL) is proud to mark the completion of ARIDLL – Augmented Reality Instructional Design for Language Learning, an Erasmus+ project that has explored how augmented reality (AR) can transform language education across Europe.
Over the past three years, ARIDLL brought together universities, researchers, and language-teaching experts to empower educators to become AR creators—not just users. The project developed practical instructional design guidelines, innovative AR learning modules, and training resources to help language teachers integrate immersive technologies into their classrooms.
As a partner, the CIL contributed to the project’s research, design, and dissemination activities. CIL helped co-develop AR guidelines, supported pilot implementations with Cypriot educators, and organized local workshops and dissemination events. Through these initiatives, CIL ensured that ARIDLL’s tools and outcomes reflected the needs of real teachers and learners in diverse contexts.
ARIDLL’s impact is already visible. Teachers trained through the project now apply AR to design interactive vocabulary lessons, cultural simulations, and communication activities that engage students in new ways. The project’s open resources—including instructional guides and AR content modules—are available to educators and institutions interested in enhancing digital language learning practices.
Beyond its tangible outputs, ARIDLL has fostered a vibrant community of educators and researchers committed to exploring immersive learning. The project demonstrated that AR can make language learning more active, contextual, and motivating, while also helping educators build digital confidence and innovation capacity.
Although ARIDLL has officially concluded, its legacy continues. The consortium will maintain and promote the project’s resources, share findings at international conferences, and explore future collaborations that combine AR with emerging technologies such as AI and mixed reality.
The CIL extends its gratitude to the Erasmus+ programme, the ARIDLL consortium partners, and the many educators and students who contributed their enthusiasm and insights.
