Abstract

This action research aims to explore the impacts of Mobile–Assisted Language Learning (MALL) on freshmen’s vocabulary acquisition as well as their perspectives towards this learning approach. Twenty-six students at Thanh Dong University, Hai Duong province, Vietnam, participated in the eight-week intervention in semester 2, the academic year 2020 – 2021. The researchers employed pre-test, post-test as well as delayed post-test, attitudinal questionnaire and semi-structured interview to triangulate the collected data. T-test and Cronbach's alpha coefficient were calculated via SPSS 25 to determine the validity and internal consistency reliability of the research. The findings indicated that the MALL-integrated classrooms not only provided a significantly enriched vocabulary achievement among participants but also promoted their motivation towards the use of MALL to enhance their lexical knowledge. Some pedagogical implications have been additionally recommended for educators in teaching vocabulary and in future research on the development of a MALL-enhanced framework for vocabulary acquisition.

Keywords:Mobile-assisted Language Learning, MALL, vocabulary acquisition, perspectives.
