Mobile Technology-Mediated Language Learning: A Quantitative Study to Unravel Language Learners’ Achievement and Autonomy

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of mobile technology-mediated language learning (MTMLL) on the learners’ Balinese language learning achievement and autonomy. A quantitative approach research with quasi-experimental and survey designs was conducted. The data were collected through the tests and MTMLL questionnaire administration to fifty-eight primary school students in Bali, Indonesia. The data were analyzed statistically using SPSS 23 version. The results indicate that MTMLL has a positive impact on learners' achievement and autonomy. Participants reported that learners using MTMLL showed higher levels of achievement compared to those who did not use this technology. Additionally, MTMLL provided them with more control over their learning and allowed them to study at their own pace and convenience. The findings of this study contribute to the literature on MTMLL and local language learning by highlighting the importance of technology in promoting learners’ achievement and autonomy. The study suggests that MTMLL can be an effective tool for language learners to enhance their learning experience and achieve better outcomes.

Digital Storytelling: A Catalyst to Enhance English Language Learning in Malaysia

“…Teachers and students have generally shown positive perceptions towards the use of ICT in learning English, with students finding it more engaging and enjoyable (Gómez et al, 2018;Triassanti et al, 2022). Additionally, the use of ICT has been found to enhance language learning by providing personalised and interactive experiences, thereby promoting learner autonomy (Diari et al, 2023). Moreover, the integration of ICTs in pre-service English teacher education has shifted the focus from teaching knowledge to teaching competence and from teacher-centred to student-centred learning, facilitating learners to construct knowledge (Septiyanti et al, 2020).…”
