“…Though studies of mobile learning among migrant learners are becoming more common (Drolia et al, 2022;Figueiredo, 2023), the field is still under-researched, especially when considering learners outside of K-12 or higher education (Demmans Epp, 2017). Drawing on the academic literature on the potential benefits of mobile learning and the barriers faced by migrant learners when trying to engage in English classes, two research questions were formed to guide this study, using the terminology of the Capability Approach:…”

This paper describes a Capability Approach analysis of the capabilities, functionings, and conversion factors reported by learners on workplace-based mobile language learning courses. The study used secondary data from student satisfaction surveys from 556 learners who were all recent migrants to the US and who were using the courses to study English. Use of the Capability Approach highlights that the promises of mobile learning were not available to all learners as conversion factors (individual, social, environmental, and technological) inhibited their participation in the courses. The study shows how some learners experienced a tension between well-being and agency as they were unable to study the content they wanted in the way they wanted. It also demonstrates that factors around the business model of the company that created the courses impacted the level to which learners were able to participate in the program. Finally, the study illustrates that learners were able to extend the language they learned through the course into other areas of their lives and to help others.

The computer-aided writing system first builds an English writing corpus, which mainly includes several aspects such as corpus selection, corpus preprocessing, formula algorithm design, sentence breaking, and judging whether the sentences are aligned or not. Anchor alignment cannot perform a job alone; it must work in conjunction with named entity recognition technology to study the connection and role between the two. Jieba participle utilizes the idea of the HMM model, which is researched and calculated by the Viterbi algorithm, to recognize new words outside the dictionary. A computer-assisted writing system is introduced into English language teaching to promote conscious and deep student participation, activate classroom teaching, and improve learning effectiveness. The results showed that there was also a significant correlation between text length and English writing ability (P=0.003) and on T-units and English writing ability (P=0.001). Statistical significance was reached for all three indicators of text length (P=0.001), T-units (P=0.001), and English writing proficiency (P=0.002) between groups of high and low subgroups. The vocabulary recommendation function usage record revealed that each student used it 6.21 times on average and had a liking for it 4.32 times on average. 20 students agreed that the system was helpful for their writing. The two groups of students’ writing scores differed significantly (0.001) from their respective pre-test scores. The computerized writing instruction system was more helpful for the student’s performance.

The effect of mobile‐assisted learning in real language attainment: A systematic review

Abstract: Background: As more people around the globe become immigrants or refugees, an increasingly popular subsection of research has aimed to investigate how these populations use mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) to learn the language(s) of the host country.
