A Survey on the uses of Mobile Phones in Facilitating English Learning for Students at Transport and Communications University in Ho Chi Minh City

Abstract

With the development of modern technology and high education, the mobile phone is not only an essential piece of equipment to use in life but also becomes an ideal tool for students to improve their knowledge, so it cannot be denied that students can use mobile phones to improve their English effectively. Therefore, mobile-assisted language learning is considered a new multidisciplinary field of educational technology. We hope that the results of this study could serve as the basis for other researchers to do research on the effects of mobile phones when improving English in an academic environment and provide people who have an interest in this topic with the relationship between students and the necessity of using mobile phones to support learning in classes, especially in English. This study could be helpful for teachers to pay more attention to developing a new way to bring knowledge to their students instead of focusing mainly on the old method like books, boards or fundamental theories.
