The Effect of Using Mobile on EFL StudentsSpeaking
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
The use of technology in teaching and learning environments is an important aspect which has received considerable attention in recent years. In a similar vein, the use of mobiles to increase effectiveness of instruction has been acknowledged through a number of experimental studies carried out so far. The following study was made to improve the speaking knowledge of EFL students through using mobile phones. 40 students including male and female up to 18 years old and with average age of 25 participated in this study. The participants in both experimental and control groups were provided with an opportunity to review and recycle English drills about speaking. In every session the participants in the experimental group talk on their mobile phone in English. As an out-ofclass assignment they should practice their mistakes in English speaking. Participants in the control group, however, received no extra treatment at all. The results showed that the participants who had benefited from mobile-assisted learning had a significantly better performance on a speaking posttest than the participants in the control group.
