| description | It is not uncommon to find smartphones being used in classrooms throughout the world.
However, despite the prevalent usage, the extent to which this technological gizmo has
contributed to academic achievement particularly language performance is still inconclusive.
The study seeks to contribute to the debate with the objectives of identifying the correlation
between guided smartphone use and students’ English language performance and determining
the impact of guided smartphone use on students’ receptive language skills. The study adopted a
quantitative method and employed an experimental research design. Pre and post reading and
listening tests were administered and tabulated according to categories. To measure reading and
listening competence, the scores collected from the pre- and post-test were computed using SPSS
to compare inter- and intra-group differences. The inter-group comparisons were analysed by
Independent Samples Test and the intra-group comparisons by Paired Samples Statistics. The
findings of this research revealed that guided approach of smartphone use did not give
significant impact on students’ language performance. However, intra-group analysis found
there were significant positive changes in post-test scores for reading skill although not for
listening skill post-test scores. |
