Abstract

The purposes of this research were: 1) to develop Augmented Reality Phonics Material to Support Pronunciation and Spelling of grade 5 students, 2) to compare the English pronunciation ability of grade 5 students who learned by using Augmented Reality Phonics Material and learned by using conventional teaching methods, and 3) to compare the English spelling ability of grade 5 students who learned by using Augmented Reality Phonics Material and learned by using conventional teaching methods. The sample consisted of grade 5 students from Tessaban 5 Pattani Municipality School, Mueang, Pattani Province, divided into two groups: an experimental group of 20 students who learned using Augmented Reality Phonics Material, and a control group of 20 students who received conventional teaching methods. The research findings revealed that: 1) the quality of Augmented Reality Phonics Material to Support Pronunciation and Spelling of grade 5 students was at the highest level (equation= 4.462, S.D. = 0.03) covering aspects of media design, media components, vocabulary and phonics content, and technology usability, 2) the English reading pronunciation ability of the experimental group who learned through the Augmented Reality Phonics Material was significantly higher than before learning at the statistical level of .05. However, when compared to the control group who learned by conventional teaching methods, there was no statistically significant difference (t-test = 1.90, p value = .06), possibly because the control group studied in a school with sufficient resources and effective instructional management, which supported the development of pronunciation skills to a level comparable with the experimental group. and 3) the English spelling ability of the experimental group who learned through the Augmented Reality Phonics Material was significantly higher than before learning at the statistical level of .05. However, when compare to the control group who learned by conventional teaching methods, the experimental group had a significantly higher score at a statistical level of .05. (t-test = 4.98, p value = .000)
