Abstract

Mobile-assisted language learning is the newest method of language learning, which involves the use of online websites or mobile applications to facilitate English education. The question of whether mobile-assisted language learning improves students’ language learning skills has become a popular topic, despite the little study on a specific piece of software. Using a questionnaire, the author explored the attitudes of students at a public primary school in Hangzhou towards an app they regularly use to practice speaking English. The study found that students were generally positive about using the app to improve their English skills, and that they did not experience the expected problems with the internet link during use, but rather found the phone too expensive, which may be related to the fact that they come from remote rural areas.
