Abstract

Learning through mobile devices (Mobile learning) appears as the significant breakthrough of technology 4.0. Among the sharp progress of up-to-date technology, it has been seen that mobile devices’ smart functions are able to support learners’ learning wherever and whenever. Hence, mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) has been believed to serve learners’ English skills and knowledge well. Although mobile learning is expected to apply appropriately in English teaching and learning, students’ attitudes towards the use of mobile devices for their learning under wireless networks need to be assessed seriously. This writing is to report EFL learners’ behaviors and awareness on using mobile technology in their English learning at a University in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, through a survey on 100 university EFL students by a questionnaire including 13 English-Vietnamese statements within 15 minutes. The survey lasted two weeks in the second semester of the school year 2018-2019. Quantitative data were analyzed with SPSS version 20. On the one hand, the findings indicated that students have positive constructive and acceptable towards using mobile technology in English learning. On the other hand, mobile learning applications in the future at the current University were able to be accepted firmly.
