Abstract
This study tried to design a WhatsApp bot to be implemented in English language vocabulary learning context in Oman. 150 Omani English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students from three different proficiency levels were selected based on random sampling. To measure the effectiveness of the treatment, pretests, posttests, and delayed posttests were conducted, respectively. The TAM 2 extended questionnaire was also used to understand learners' perceptions regarding the use of the WhatsApp bot in the learning process. The results of the study revealed that the WhatsApp bot, on all three levels, works nicely and practically. Although experimental groups, who used WhatsApp bot, at elementary and intermediate levels showed significant differences from the traditional face-to-face classes, pre-intermediate students showed no significant difference between the two mentioned terms. It was also understood that chatbots could be the best supplementary materials assisting teaching in delivering materials.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article.
