Abstract

English as a compulsory subject in the higher education of Indonesia is thought as an English for Specific Purposes (ESP). It means that the material provided must be relevant to the study program. Besides focusing on the study program, the use of interactive instructional media in a class is a must since most of teachers believe that it can help them to reach the goal better. The teaching should be more interactive by providing interactive instructional media to attract students' motivation to learn. Nowadays, technology grows rapidly and provides various alternatives in developing instructional media. One of them is the use of Augmented Reality (AR). In this study, the AR is combined with the Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM) to design the instructional media, named AR based PWIM. The design is used to promote students' English vocabulary of non-English Department who take Basic English course. Since vocabulary is believed as the most important thing in language learning. The research design is a research and development (R n D) design that followed ADDIE development procedures. It starts with the analysis, design, develop, implement and evaluate. Based on the development phases, it can be concluded that the design of AR based PWIM is a relevant model to promote students' English vocabulary in the higher education of Indonesia. Finally, the researchers suggest future research to conduct an experiment study related to the new AR based PWIM instructional design to measure the effectiveness of the design.

Highlights

Nowadays, we are in the situation in which every aspect of life becomes unstable
World Health Organization (WHO) stated that in the era that had not been happened before, the world has prepared itself for the COVID-19 pandemic era that is caused by the novel virus SARS-CoV-2[1]
This research is focused on developing instructional model that is adapted from the Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM) to promote non-English department students’ vocabulary mastery
