Abstract

Mobile applications have been used to support engaging and interactive learning over the past several years. However, most mobile apps for language education were developed for merely vocabulary learning and simple grammar exercises. Hence, it is important for instructors to encourage and guide students to participate in more diverse learning activities using the mobile apps to learn and practice the target language in their daily lives. This chapter attempts to introduce a sample of engaging mobile-assisted learning activities toward the use of multiple mobile apps like TIMeS (Taylor's Integrated Moodle e-Learning System), Naver Blog, and Quizlet. A survey was conducted to gather student responses and feedback regarding this app-based learning, and 266 students responded over four semesters in 2018 and 2019. The chapter examines how these app-based learning activities are advantageous to the students' learning outside of the classroom in terms of enhancing engagement and flexibly.
