Adult Students’ Perceptions of Mobile assisted Language learning in Oral English Courses

Abstract

This article explores students’ perceptions on the use of certain mobile devices in an oral, English course. Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) has not been widely used in language settings in the Costa Rican context. The main objective of this paper is to understand students’ ideas about activities that include MALL. Results were deduced from a 10-point survey answered by students enrolled in an oral course from a major in English. The quantitative data was gathered through a survey, following survey re- search methods. Based on these results, the writer concludes that students consider activities using MALL a valuable asset in the learning process.
