Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the views of freshmen on using their smartphones in learning English as a foreign language. The study was designed based on a quantitative associational model. The data were collected from the 428 freshmen attending the English preparation programs run at İnönü and Fırat Universities, Turkey, using “Smartphone Use in Learning Foreign Language Scale”. The results showed that participants use their smartphones more frequently to engage in English listening and speaking activities than reading and writing activities. The participants also believe that smartphones scarcely have adverse effects on learning English. However, it was also found that the more time students spend online, the more they suffer from the adverse effects of smartphones in terms of language learning. Results about gender revealed that female students use their smartphones more frequently than their male peers to engage in formal language learning activities. Significant differences related to frequency of smartphone use for both formal and informal language learning purposes were detected, with the Business Administration and Molecular Biology and Genetics department students showing higher frequency. No statistically significant difference was found between students’ views about using smartphones for language learning according to the types of Internet connection (Wi-Fi, mobile data, or both).

移动还是敌对?使用智能手机学习英语作为外语1

摘要

本文旨在调查新生对使用智能手机学习英语作为外语的看法。该研究是基于定量关联模型设计的。这些数据是使用“智能手机在外语学习中的使用量表”从参加土耳其 İnönü 和 Fırat 大学的英语准备课程的 428 名新生中收集的。结果表明,与阅读和写作活动相比,参与者使用智能手机进行英语听说活动的频率更高。参与者还认为,智能手机对英语学习几乎没有不利影响。但也发现,学生在网上花费的时间越多,他们在语言学习方面受到智能手机不利影响的程度就越大。关于性别的结果显示,在进行正式的语言学习活动时,女学生比男同学更频繁地使用智能手机。检测到与正式和非正式语言学习目的使用智能手机的频率相关的显着差异,工商管理和分子生物学与遗传学系的学生表现出更高的频率。根据互联网连接类型(Wi-Fi、移动数据或两者兼有),学生对使用智能手机进行语言学习的看法在统计学上没有显着差异。检测到与正式和非正式语言学习目的使用智能手机的频率相关的显着差异,工商管理和分子生物学与遗传学系的学生表现出更高的频率。根据互联网连接类型(Wi-Fi、移动数据或两者兼有),学生对使用智能手机进行语言学习的看法在统计学上没有显着差异。检测到与正式和非正式语言学习目的使用智能手机的频率相关的显着差异,工商管理和分子生物学与遗传学系的学生表现出更高的频率。根据互联网连接类型(Wi-Fi、移动数据或两者兼有),学生对使用智能手机进行语言学习的看法在统计学上没有显着差异。
