THE IMPACT OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGY ON LANGUAGE EDUCATION
Keywords:
ChatGPT; mobile-assisted language learning; digital pedagogy; vocabulary acquisition; grammar instruction; AI in education; language learning applications.Abstract
This article explores the evolving role of mobile applications in modern
English language learning by analysing three popular tools: ChatGPT, Word of the
Day, and Learn English Grammar. Through an academic assessment of their
pedagogical design, functionality, and limitations, the study proposes that these
applications together form a complementary digital ecosystem that supports linguistic
development. While ChatGPT offers interactive, personalised instruction, Word of the
Day facilitates incremental vocabulary expansion, and Learn English Grammar
provides structured grammatical practice. Despite inherent limitations, their combined
use promotes autonomous learning and multimodal engagement, marking a significant
progress in twenty-first-century language education.
