Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of smartphone applications in the development of English vocabulary knowledge, to explore initially whether there is a link between receptive vocabulary knowledge and receptive language skills, and the influence of affective factors in the development of vocabulary knowledge. The results of the study showed that although the performance of both groups (experimental and control) improved, the improvement was more pronounced in the experimental group. Questionnaires analyzing the role of affective factors in the development of vocabulary knowledge revealed that smartphone apps were highly correlated with students’ motivation to learn, but showed no significant correlation in terms of attitude and anxiety.
