Mobile apps are hot. But the students really learn the software compared to the traditional language believe? In this article, I report the main findings of a survey I recently conducted in the perception of mobile applications for students language learning.
The survey was conducted among speakers of French and English web site, with a total of 290 people who responded. Including:
nearly a third (31%) reported using a mobile device to help language learning, and almost a third (30%) said they did not have a mobile device that can run applications, and 39% said that if they had a device capable of running applications, I have not used this device for language learning.
Whether or not they used their device for language learning, in which respondents to a number of characteristics of mobile devices are an advantage required for learning the language. Among these, the clearest advantage perceived by respondents (56% agreement) was to promote mobile applications "bites" learning applications are typically designed to be picked up for a short period of time without long periods concentration.
Currently, respondents do not seem to perceive the use of applications under the "ordinary training" but it may be to your advantage. A little over a third of respondents (38%) agreed that the advantage of allowing applications is learning outside of school or other formal setting. A similar number (37%) saw an advantage in applications such as a "means" more language practice "to help things flow." It will be interesting to see how these perceptions change over mobile devices adopt more conventional way in the classroom.
Interfaces with audio, visual and tactile available on mobile devices available today, we could have found interactivity benefits. But fewer respondents thought that this is the case, with only 25% agreed with the statement "I would like a more interactive mobile application." This may be a message for application developers who have not yet working on putting systems in and out of devices "to better use.
With the average price of an educational application with just a few dollars (and increase the downward pressure on the price of the application), we would expect that applications cheap perceived advantage. Perhaps surprisingly, the price users are proving a key factor: only 22% of respondents agreed that the lowest of the applications to software regular price was a bonus.
This survey provided a first overview of the evolution in the perception and experience of the use of mobile applications for the users' language learning. In particular, users seem to enjoy the benefits of mobile applications as a way of extracurricular learning bites. In addition, it always seems not take full advantage of possible interactive features of mobile devices.
