@article{2017,title={PERCEPTIONS OF EFL LEARNERS ABOUT USING MOBILE APPLICATIONS FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING: A CASE STUDY},abstractNode={The current ongoing tendency of using mobile devices, especially mobile phones, for language learning is such a fruitful trend that teachers cannot ignore (Godwin-Jones, 2011). This situation is not surprising when we consider that today everything from banking to keeping records of sports we do, has been intertwined with our indispensable mobile phones. Thus, it is good for EFL learners to gain benefit from mobile applications from now onwards. For this reason, 20 prep class students of a state university in Turkey participated in this case study to reveal pros and cons of using specific mobile apps as assistance for their language learning process for ten weeks. Students were guided to use different mobile apps available at AppStore* and PlayStore* (respectively DuoLingo, Memrise, Acobot, VoScreen, and English Central). They used each application for two weeks by the end of the study. Perceptions of the students about mobile apps which were recorded every two weeks by using minute papers were analyzed descriptively by the researchers. As a result, a substantial comparison of these mentioned apps might be enlightening for EFL learners by providing advantages and disadvantages of using them.
