Abstract

Abstract: This research reports on Malaysian English teachers’ readiness and acceptance in using Augmented Reality (AR) in English instruction and their intention to use AR in teaching English reading. Through a survey on 181 Malaysian English language teachers in Klang Valley, Malaysia, it was found that Malaysian English teachers possess quite a high level of acceptance in using Augmented Reality in the teaching of English reading with 60.8 % (n = 110); and have a high level of readiness in using Augmented Reality in the teaching of English reading at 63.0% (n = 114). The researchers also found significant correlation between level of acceptance and behavioral intention (r = .935**, p = .00, p < .05) between teachers’ acceptance with their intention to use Augmented Reality in teaching of English reading at .05 level of significance. There is also high correlation between teachers’ readiness with intention to use augmented reality in teaching English reading, with the correlation coefficient (r), at .924. In conclusion, Malaysian secondary school teachers’ acceptance and readiness to use Augmented Reality (AR) in teaching English reading are high and there is a positively significant relationship between acceptance and readiness with intention to use AR in teaching English reading.
