This study integrates local cultural characteristics into Hakka language learning and compares the effect of augmented reality location-based games pedagogy and digital image-based game pedagogy on academic performance. Meanwhile, we also explore the attitude of learners on cultural and language identity after learning activities. This study adopt a quasi-experimental method and questionnaire survey method. The subjects of the study were 28 students in the sixth grade of an elementary school in Miaoli County. This study was conducted for a two-week teaching experiment. The control group used the digital image-based game for learning, and the experimental group used an augmented reality location-based game. The results found that both groups of learners made significant progress in their academic performance after activities and there was no significant difference in academic performance between different pedagogy. In terms of language and cultural identity, the students in the experiment have a higher identity attitude; all students have a positive attitude towards language and cultural identity after the activity.
