Özet

Using mobile devices for education is increasingly common since they are highly

portable and the combination of mobile devices with the internet allows for the

expansion of teaching beyond the classroom and the implementation of ubiquitous

learning (Wang, 2017). In the same vein, Power (2019), who emphasizes the social,

educational and technological interconnectedness in mobile assisted language teaching

and learning, states that advancements in mobile technologies have coincided with

swift transformations in the ways individuals engage with one another and the

community. These transformations have some implications for teaching and learning

and offer promising opportunities to advance the ways in which teachers, instructionaldesigners, and learners themselves approach the process of teaching and learning. In

view of such transformations, the focus of mobile assisted language learning (MALL)

research has shifted from empirical studies into the usefulness of prevailing mobile

applications to design-based inquiries on the development of mobile applications

dealing with particular aspects of language learning.
