This study examines the impact of augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI)-based applications on enhancing listening skills in early childhood. Listening is a foundational skill in language development and is crucial for acquiring social and cognitive abilities. Integrating digital technologies into educational processes offers an innovative approach to support children's attention spans and listening habits. In this context, the study investigates how AR and AI-supported applications can engage children, increase their focus duration, and develop their listening skills. The AR applications used in the study facilitated children's interaction with auditory and visual stimuli, thereby providing a multisensory learning experience. AI-based storytelling, on the other hand, helped children extract meaning from stories and focus on details while listening. The findings reveal that AR and AI technologies effectively strengthen children's listening skills and improve their attention spans. These technologies not only contribute to language development but also foster active participation and motivation in the learning process. In conclusion, integrating AR and AI applications into early childhood education has the potential to enhance children's linguistic and cognitive skills. The study's findings suggest that technology-supported learning environments offer a valuable complement to traditional methods and provide innovative solutions in children's education.
