Abstract: This study looks at how Augmented Reality (AR) can be combined with Eki Stamps to create a fresh and engaging way of learning languages while deepening cultural understanding. At its heart, the research responds to the concern that younger generations are less connected to traditional cultural items like stamps, which limits their chances to learn language through heritage. The idea introduces a blended experience where each stamp design carries symbols of local culture and is enhanced with AR features. Through mobile devices, users can unlock multilingual stories, interactive dialogues, and animated visuals, turning stamp collecting into a lively and educational journey. In Melaka, this approach highlights the city’s unique heritage, especially along the river cruise route and historic sites such as Kampung Morten, Stadthuys, and Dutch Square. Early results suggest that using AR and gamification in cultural tourism not only captures attention but also strengthens community pride and draws in younger, tech-savvy audiences. What makes this approach especially promising is its adaptability, AR content can be refreshed in step with cultural events or linguistic activities, keeping the experience relevant and interactive over time. By weaving together tradition and technology, this initiative encourages language learning, nurtures cultural appreciation, and promotes digital inclusivity. Ultimately, AR-powered Eki Stamps show great potential, serving both as a means to preserve heritage and as a modern tool for inclusive, effective education in today’s digital world.
