Mobile Learning as a methodological strategy in the English language learning process

Abstract

Technology has generated transformations in the educational field, offering dynamic schemes that motivate students to participate in their learning. The research sought to analyze the use of Mobile Learning as a pedagogical strategy in the teaching-learning process of the English language. Methodologically, it was developed from a quantitative approach, at a descriptive level and with a field, non-experimental, transectional design. A survey was applied to 49 students chosen in a non-probabilistic and intentional way, resulting that 92% of the respondents think that the use of cell phones facilitates active participation in classes to learn English. It was concluded that Mobile Learning is an attractive teaching model for students that offers numerous advantages, but technological training should be provided to teachers in order to optimize the quality of learning, since learning a foreign language opens up endless job and academic possibilities.
