“…The ability to practice speaking using authentic materials in meaningful contexts via ChatterPix Kids is made apparent through the participants' responses. echoes the findings of the previous studies (Ahn & Lee, 2016;Abugohar et al, 2019;Almarshadi et al, 2019;Gonulal, 2019;Kusmaryani et al, 2019;Sherine et al, 2020). The mobile app being 'context sensitive' (Klopfer et al, 2002) is seen of as helpful when making authentic learning possible.…”

“…Studies done by Moghaddas and Bashirnezhad (2016), Darmi and Albion (2017), Azlan et al (2019) and Kusmaryani et al (2019) indicate that MALL allows learners to learn in collaboration as opined by Vygotsky (1978) in his social constructivism theory. Learners are regarded as speaking better as they get their errors corrected by both their teacher and peers.…”

“…Roach et al (2018) proclaimed that authentic learning materials will substantiate contextual learning as the learners integrate their previous experience into their current realities. Mobile apps are believed to provide authentic learning opportunities for learners, allowing them to obtain a better understanding as they get to apply speaking in real-world conversations (Ahn & Lee, 2016;Almarshadi et al, 2019;Kusmaryani et al, 2019). In addition, 49 Arabian teachers from higher education institutes in the work of Abugohar et al ( 2019) proclaimed that mobile apps are believed to cater to shy and anxious learners as they create a less stressful teaching and learning environment.…”

The mastery of all four language skills has become one of the topmost priorities among English as a Second Language (ESL) learners worldwide. Despite multiple efforts taken to master the necessary skills, speaking remains to the most challenging skill for many Malaysian ESL learners. Previous studies suggest that Mobile-assisted Language Learning (MALL) for speaking has taken its first steps in Malaysian tertiary and secondary levels of education. However, there is still a paucity of research done on MALL at the primary level. The present case study therefore sought to fill in the gap by exploring how the ChatterPix Kids mobile app has helped 5 purposively selected Year 3 primary school pupils develop their speaking fluency. This was done through speaking practices conducted over 12 speaking lessons during the Movement Control Order (MCO) from their perspective. The pupils’ responses obtained through the semi-structured interviews were triangulated using the responses obtained from them through both a focus group and their parents’ feedback obtained through an open-ended questionnaire. The findings were thematically analysed. Seven themes were highlighted which indicate the crucial need to incorporate MALL for speaking among Malaysian primary school pupils. Further studies are recommended to be done on how ChatterPix Kids could be exploited when learning other language skills such as listening, reading, and writing. So far as the study’s limitations are concerned, there is a need to investigate how the pupils’ confidence could be sustained in the absence of the app when speaking in public.

Cultural literacy is individuals' and communities' ability to communicate within ethnic groups, countries, religions, or national traditions to preserve culture. Indonesia is rich in the diversity of regional languages as a cultural heritage. One of them is Kaganga Language as the ancestral language on Sumatra island. This paper investigates the Kaganga mobile application on the Android platform as a source of cultural literacy and learning media that supports local wisdom of regional languages in Indonesia. The application menu teaches the history of Kaganga, letters and numbers, punctuation marks, word exercises, and proverbs. Qualitative data collection involved 50 respondents in elementary schools. The feasibility testing from students said that the application was excellent in usability, effectiveness, and satisfaction. The experiments showed that the Kaganga mobile application had improved students' language skills and motivated students to learn the Kaganga language as part of cultural literacy. Furthermore, the application has been able to preserve the Kaganga language as a cultural heritage of the Indonesian nation to achieve cultural literacy skills as one of the life skills of the 21 st century. Further studies, mobile applications can be integrated with learning outcomes measurement on the e-learning website to monitor learning progress continuously

“…In other cases specific approaches are developed to ensure the successful programs and courses completion. Many scientific papers report adapted or emerged methods, algorithms and software programmes for improvement of general educational factors like flexibility (Aasbrenn and Bingen, 2009), mobility (Madeira et al, 2009) and quality of education (Hay et al, 2008) as well as for improvement specific educational characteristics such as: teaching concepts and theories that are hard to understand (Jeng et al, 2010), promotion of deep learning (Czerkawski, 2014), critical analysis of teaching material (Kusmaryani et al, 2019), transparent assessment (Rodríguez-Gómez and Ibarra-Sáiz, 2015).…”
