Abstract: With the maturation of 3D technology and the popularization of smart mobile phones and other mobile devices, augmented reality (AR) technology has been rapidly developed. Aiming at English learning of young children, this paper discussed the functions and the methods of mobile AR applications. Though the experimental comparisons of different degrees of memorization on the teaching contents among preschool students, with one group using AR teaching while the other learning from paper books, then explore the advantages of the AR teaching methods. The results show that using AR teaching has more advantages for all ages of yound children on the average number of remembering English words than with traditional teaching methods. What is more, this conclusion among the younger is more obvious; the forgetting rate in English words is smaller after the same time; with the increase of children's ages, the forgetting rate of English words reduces.

Key words: augmented reality(AR), English learning of young children, mobile devices, paper books, the degree of forgetting English words, the forgetting rate of English words
