Mobile Applications on High School Students’ Motivation

Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 9, Issue 8

Abstract

Related literature indicates that the use of Mobile technology including the internet has an important role in foreign language learning. It is also obvious that attitudes of learners including their motivation affect learning processes significantly. This study aimed to investigate if there is any significant relationship between the use of Mobile applications in Iranian EFL university classes and the students’ motivation to learn English. To test this hypothesis a questionnaire developed by Binnur (2011) was distributed among a group of 60 Iranian EFL university students. Data gathered were analyzed statistically. The result indicated that Iranian EFL university students had a positive attitude towards the use of Mobile applications in their English classes.
