Connecting With Mobile Apps to Develop English Skills

Abstract

There is evidence that modern technology's use is on the rise, which has implications for how we learn and teach. This is why ICT (information and communication technology) has become vital to education. This post looks at several approaches to learning English with various smartphone apps. The watch, tablet, and smartphone are the mobile gadgets that will be utilized in this investigation. As part of the study, 38 people from Slovakia answered the questionnaire. The survey asked about the kind of mobile devices used, their locations, and how often they were used. This study also aimed to identify the mobile application types that are used and the talents (reading, writing, speaking, and hearing) employed. As to the study's findings, the smartphone is the most frequently used gadget. The information obtained shows a wide variation in the frequency with which mobile applications are utilized for English language learning. The learner's home is the most probable site for using mobile applications, and the obtained data show a wide variety of usage patterns in frequency. It is feasible to conclude that when it comes to language learning, learners prioritize hearing above everything else: reading, writing, and speaking. Based on the research findings, the participants' main language systems of interest are vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, in that order. Ultimately, it was found that programs that serve as dictionaries are the most often used. Research is needed. However, mobile apps are a widely used and successful educational tool that should be studied by academics, researchers, and educators globally. Students and language teachers will benefit from this material.
