Abstract

The article looks at English composition instruction methods for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. It reports on a study of the use of a mobile device application with augmented reality (AR) features based on the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology as a tool by Taiwanese university students to help them complete a descriptive essay assignment for an English composition course. It says the results suggested that the use of the technology helped students improve their writing skills by expanding their knowledge of both content and language.
