This study aimed to determine how sophomores majoring in English at Ho Chi Minh University of Foreign Languages and Information Technology (HUFLIT) thought about using mobile applications through mobile devices to improve their English listening skills. 101 English major students at HUFLIT participated in the mixed-methods study. Using the mixed-methods research design with a survey questionnaire as the primary data collecting instrument, the study obtained significant findings and accomplished its objectives. The findings from both quantitative and qualitative data indicate that the majority of participants had positive sentiments regarding the use of mobile applications inside and outside the classroom.
