This development process was carried out through material and media feasibilities by four validators, so that the results of this development were feasible to apply to students. Based on the needs analysis, students still need more varied media when studying and adapted to the times, namely the use of technology and communication tools. Therefore, this media is the solution we provide because it has several advantages such as: easy to use, colorful, interactive in 3D, attractive, among others. This media can accommodate text, video, 3D, images and audio and can be used online or offline. This research was adapted from Branch’s ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation), but this paper only reached the development stage. In the material validation process, an average value of 91.2% was obtained, so it was categorized as very good. Meanwhile, in the media validation process, an average value of 92.75% was gained, so it was categorized as very good. Thus, the development of media based on augmented reality applications is proved to be valid or feasible in the students’ learning.

Language has particular characteristics that must be followed, so learners are required to master the characteristics of the language they are learning. French is a language having features such as: (1) gender (masculine and feminine), (2) number (singular and plural), (3) articles (definite, indefinite and partitive articles) among others. With its uniqueness, French forces students to focus and deepen their learning, such as using more varied technology-based media to facilitate learning applied to this language. Based on the students’ answers to the questionnaires, about 76.5% argued that beginner written reception was difficult due to several factors: (1) lack of French vocabulary which affected their language skills; (2) weak comprehension of monotonous reading, for example, the book used is less colorful, and lacks of images, even the writing is too small. The reading material also uses complete French without explanation in Indonesian, although the target for beginner written reception is addressed to first semester students with basic abilities in A1 level; (3) the limitations of learning materials accessible online and offline. Students admit that they still need more varied technology-
