A Critical Overview of the Implementation of Language-Immersion Through the Use of Mobile Apps

Abstract

The use of m-learning, also known as mobile learning, allows the new generation of people to have better communication and activities regardless of location and time. The purpose of this research is to understand more about how students learn English using their mobile devices. Mobile technologies are increasingly being used in language teaching and learning. MALL (Mobile Assisted Language Learning) allows anybody to study regardless of their location, job, studies, and time constraints. In mobile learning, smartphones, iPods, tablets, computers, and iPads are utilised to facilitate language acquisition. There are various applications available for persons studying English as a second language. This research looks at how mobile apps are classified for elementary, secondary, and tertiary learners. This research focuses on the implementation, analysis, and assessment of language learning mobile apps. The concept, technique, theoretical, and pedagogical characteristics that drive modern mobile applications are also discussed in this article. Because these applications are designed to help learners improve their language abilities, the focus should be on learning the four important language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing using mobile technology. It also reveals that apps are more effective at teaching listening and speaking skills than traditional learning techniques.
