Abstract

As the previous research indicates, information and communication technologies play an important role and have a great potential in foreign language teaching. It is also obvious that mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) significantly affects the learning process among foreign language learners. There are many studies which have been conducted to see the possible outcomes of integrating computer into foreign language education; however, there are not enough studies to see the effects of mobile applications on language education; there are many popular applications such as Kahoot, Quizziz, Quizlet and Edpuzzle for educational purposes, though. As a still growing area, MALL research needs to expand so that it covers different contexts and age groups. This current study aims to investigate the relationship between MALL and vocabulary learning. In this study, 60 students who study at a university in Turkey were divided into two groups and they have been observed over a 4 week period and an achievement test was administered to both groups. The experimental group used an app called “Quizziz” during these 4 weeks and the control group went on learning vocabulary through traditional paper-based activities. Results from this observation and the test show that the experiment group slightly outscored the control group. However, no significant difference was observed between the scores of these two groups.
