Integrating Mobile-based Activities in Teaching Listening and Speaking Skills to EFL Degree Students at Algiers University

Abstract

Mobile devices are regarded as multimodal and multimedia resources that support mobile-based instruction through multimodal representation. Due to these aspects, the present study is an attempt to investigate the effectiveness of using Mobile-assisted Language Learning (MALL) on developing listening and speaking skills of first year EFL degree students at Algiers 2 University. The study focused on how the researcher orchestrated the digital resources during classes to develop EFL degree students' listening and speaking skills. Hence, we hypothesized that students who use mobile devices will show better oral/ aural performance than their peers who do not use them in their listening and speaking skills learning process. To achieve the study aims, a mixed- methods approach was adopted
