“…This data strengthens the result of the research which states that the use of PhET Simulation is not only able to improve critical thinking skills, but also to improve creative thinking skills [19]. In addition, the use of Android-based applications is proven to be effective in increasing student understanding in learning [33]. Non-faceto-face science learning can train students to compare various perspectives on scientific phenomena, analyze, and synthesize data to draw conclusion [34].…”

<p class="16">Covid-19 spurs teachers to carry out online learning. This study aimed to analyze the improvement of students' critical thinking skills through online learning based on Android-based PhET Simulation. This research was Quasi-Experimental using one group pre-test and post-test design involving 27 students of class VIII who program science subjects at MTs Alif Laam Miim Surabaya, Indonesia. The research instrument used critical thinking skills tests that have met valid and reliable requirements. Before and after learning activities, students were given a pre-test and a post-test. The data collected was analyzed descriptively quantitatively. The results showed that there was an increase in students' critical thinking skills with an average N-gain of 0.57, in the medium category. The highest N-gain was achieved in the "interpretation" indicator, which is 0.83 in the high category and the lowest in the "analysis" indicator, which is 0.39 in the moderate category. This study concluded that learning science by using an Android-based PhET Simulation can improve the critical thinking skills of junior high school students.</p>

“…For example, the cost of tablets may discourage some students from purchasing those [37]. A study of the effectiveness of Android applications in teaching English vocabulary conducted in Indonesia is also noteworthy [38]. Chinese researchers Liu and He have confirmed a positive relationship between the selected applications and improved student knowledge of the English language [39].…”

<p class="0abstract">The higher education system around the world is being rapidly developed towards digitalization – from computers to laptops, from laptops to tablets and smartphones. Accordingly, traditional delivery of instruction is being shifted towards blended learning that is being gradually replaced with distance learning, i.e. higher education is moving forward with mobile learning (m-learning) technologies. The introduction of mobile learning became the most topical event in 2020 in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, due to which many countries had to completely move to distance learning in higher education. The purpose of the study is to analyze the prospects for the widespread use of mobile applications in teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) in Russia to Russian and Arab learners. In the course of the study, an online survey based on a questionnaire consisting of four open and closed questions was conducted. An empirical method was applied to collect the research data. The survey was conducted at the Department of Foreign Languages of the Engineering Academy of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (EA PFUR). The total research sample included 200 participants and consisted of: 50 potential employers, 50 Russian and Arab students of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia studying Linguistics (training program code 035700), 50 faculty members, namely teachers of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, the Institute of Foreign Languages of the Moscow State Pedagogical University and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, as well as 50 administrative staff of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. The purpose of the survey was to collect information about the use of mobile applications (Smartphone Apps) and the introduction of mobile learning technology (m-learning) in the process of teaching EFL to students. According to the results of the survey, instructors are actively using mobile technologies in their professional activities and all participants in the learning process are receptive to their introduction in education. At the same time, respondents believe that technical challenges are the major obstacle to the adoption of mobile applications; these problems must be overcome in order to enable more productive use of mobile applications. In this regard, the study of mobile applications that are suitable for specific aspects of learning a foreign language, such as spoken language, reading comprehension, listening or writing, can be considered a promising research area.</p>

“…A previous study by Deris and Shukor (2019) disagreed with the utilization of Google Translate in the case of advanced learners. In contrast, more studies support the use of Google Translate in learning, regardless of the proficiency level of the learners (Basal et al, 2016;Shuib et al, 2015;Wijaya et al, 2019). Moreover, Saran and Seferoğlu (2010) stated that digital tools could bridge the gap between remedial learners and advanced learners.…”

“…Their findings revealed that the students who used SMS obtained higher test scores than the control group. Other studies on the use of mobile phones for vocabulary learning have also demonstrated positive results in terms of learners' experience and acceptance (Basal, Yilmaz, Tanriverdi, & Sari, 2016;Wijaya, Bakri, Wutun, Fitriani, & Mattoliang, 2019). Mobile phones enhance learning, as their use aligns with learners' preferred learning style (Shuib, Abdullah, Azizan, & Gunasegaran, 2015).…”

The emergence of new technologies has brought massive changes to teaching and learning processes. In recent years, mobile phones have evolved into effective teaching tools; when used practically, they could improve learning outcomes. The potential of mobile phones as a learning platform has led to a proliferation of research into their effectiveness. This paper aims to examine the effectiveness of the Google Translate mobile application (hereinafter "app") in improving indigenous learners' English language vocabulary. Fifteen Iban participants with low English language proficiency from rural schools were chosen through purposive sampling. The data were collected by comparing scores in the pre-test and post-test. In addition, the data were triangulated through structured interviews. Key findings indicated that almost all participants achieved high scores in the post-test. The interviews also revealed that all participants affirmed that Google Translate supports their English language proficiency, and only one participant was unsure of its effectiveness. Thus, the findings of this study imply that Google Translate could be an effective teaching tool to enhance learners' English language vocabulary. Future research could examine the effectiveness of the app in teaching vocabulary in different contexts.
