Abstract

Smartphones have undeniably taken a pivotal role in our daily lives. With their outstanding features, these smart devices have a highly varying application infrastructure. Considering language learning, the use of this application infrastructure has opened new doors of opportunities for both instructors and students. The aim of this 4 week-long study was to examine the impact made by the use of smartphones on the students’ perceptions with regards to EFL vocabulary learning. A quasi-experimental research design was implemented to find the changes in the perceptions of the students. The results revealed that the use of smartphones can aid EFL vocabulary learning. Further, the students’ perceptions were positive.

Özet

Akıllı telefonlar, yadsınamayacak derecede günlük hayatımızda çok önemli bir rol almıştır. Öne çıkan özellikleri ile bu akıllı cihazlar son derece değişken bir uygulama altyapısına sahiptir. Dil öğrenimi göz önüne alındığında, bu uygulama altyapısının kullanılması hem eğitmenler hem de öğrenciler için yeni kapılar aralamıştır. Dört hafta süren bu çalışma, EFL kelime öğrenimi açısından akıllı telefonların kullanımının öğrencilerin algıları üzerindeki etkinliğini incelemeyi amaçlanmıştır. Öğrencilerin algılarındaki değişimlerin bulunması amacıyla yarı deneysel bir araştırma deseni uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, akıllı telefonların kullanılmasının EFL kelime öğrenimine yardım edebileceğini göstermiştir. Ayrıca, öğrencilerin algıları olumludur.
