Description
This presentation examines university EFL students’ perceptions of mobile apps as tools for communicative competence. Using a phenomenological approach, data from semi-structured interviews and focus groups were thematically analyzed. Findings highlight benefits such as improved listening skills, vocabulary acquisition, and TOEFL preparation, alongside challenges like limited feedback and motivation issues. The presentation will discuss practical recommendations for educators and app developers to enhance mobile-assisted language learning and support students' independent learning experiences.
