A study of the Effectivness of Mobile Assisted Language Learning Among Engineering Students of Gujarat

Abstract

Mobile assisted language learning popularly known as MALL is an eye-catching research topic in 21st century. To incorporate technology in traditional classroom system is somehow a challenging task for everybody but in the present research study, an effort has been made to create some interesting LSRW activities through Mobile device. The central aim of this study is to check effectiveness of mobile device in developing LSRW Skills among engineering students of Gujarat. In order to achieve this objective, the researcher has framed questionnaire and circulated among 13 randomly selected engineering colleges in different five zones of Gujarat Technological University.After surveying 512 respondents regarding their usage habit of mobile device, researcher has framed few interesting LSRW activity module and has decided to upload on Edmodo application. Keeping in mind the magnitude of target audience, the researcher has selected two engineering colleges for experimenting LSRW activity module. Pre-test, experiment of LSRW activity module and post test were the research design for achieving the central aim of the research. The result analysis of pre-test, LSRW activity module and post test is very much positive and researcher has achieved positive response in checking effectiveness of mobile assisted language learning among selected engineering students of Gujarat.This research work will be supportive to students to appreciate the significance of the use of mobile device for education purpose. It will be advantageous to teachers in incorporating technology into pedagogy. Apart from it, this research will be useful to future researchers to discover latest approach for recuperating language skills. newline newline
