A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW OF THE USE OF LANGUAGE LEARNING APPS IN LANGUAGE EDUCATION IN THREE JOURNALS

Abstract

This study aims at reviewing the literature based on the recent studies related to the use of mobile language learning applications from the year 2017 to 2022. The journals which have been selected to conduct the review are CALL Journal, Language Learning and Technology Journal, and ReCALL journal. The journals have been preferred in reference to their nature which aims at publishing articles only related to technology and language teaching. This study covers MALL studies based on the use of a mobile application to teach or learn English. Based on the inclusion criteria, 26 studies have been included in this study from three different journals. The purpose of this systematic analysis is to synthesize findings from quasi-experimental studies carried out between 2017 and 2022 to examine whether there is a connection between the use of mobile applications and L2 learning.
