PRACTICALITY OF LANGUAGE LEARNING APPLICATION FOR STUDENTS’ AUTONOMOUS LEARNING
Abstract
One of several techniques for increasing student autonomy is to include current technologies such as cell phones and tablet PCs. However, various challenges occur about the incorporation of current technology in the learning process, which appears to be ineffectual in producing such situations that learner autonomy is realized. The current study is intended to investigate the beneficial effects of Edmodo, Duolingo, Memrise, Socrative, and Quizlet using the SAMR paradigm to assist learners in increasing their language learning autonomy. Employing mobile applications certainly promotes autonomous language learning since it allows learners to not only study the language but also acquire the target language in order to increase their competency. However, teacher guidance is still required to help students achieve their language learning goals.
