Mention the benefits of mobile learning!
The advantages of mobile learning are as follows:
- Convenience and flexibility: Mobile devices offer the flexibility for learners to engage in language learning at any time and place, accommodating their busy schedules (Ferreira & Rodrigues, 2018)
- Personalization: Mobile learning apps can be tailored to meet individual learners' needs, providing them with relevant content and exercises (Ferreira & Rodrigues, 2018).
- Interactivity: Mobile learning apps often incorporate interactive elements such as games, quizzes, and simulations, promoting learner engagement and enhancing information retention (Ferreira & Rodrigues, 2018).
- Accessibility: The increasing affordability and availability of mobile devices make mobile learning a feasible option for learners from diverse backgrounds (Kukulska-Hulme & Shield, 2009).
- Collaboration: Mobile learning apps facilitate connections among learners and native speakers of the target language, enabling opportunities for practicing speaking and listening skills (Sharples, Taylor, & Vavoula, 2007).
