- Abstract
The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 has set off a boom in online learning. While mobile learning has been widely used, it has also sparked a lot of controversies. Vocabulary-based mobile learning software has been welcomed by students as an online learning method because of its portability and fun nature[1].
Based on an interview, the author collected data about the usage of mobile learning apps in daily life by ten college students, among whom there are five English major students and five non-English major students, from Jiangsu Normal University. According to the interview results, almost all college students have used mobile learning software, and some of them use more than two software to help them learn English; there are many vocabulary mobile learning software on the market, but the quality is mixed, and college students concentrate on a few popular software; students have mixed opinions about vocabulary mobile learning software, and the existing software has limited effect on improving students’ vocabulary; there is no difference between English majors and non-English majors in terms of attitude. Based on these findings, the paper put forward the following suggestions: For students, they should combine English vocabulary mobile learning with other materials, change their minds when choosing word books, and set reasonable mobile learning goals. For teachers, make certain selections of a large number of word software for students and guide in terms of students’ learning strategies and methods. For developers, they can integrate word memorization and English learning in one software and publicize the importance of paying for knowledge.
