This study investigated the experiences of students in learning specific academic English vocabularies (ESAP) through the use of a mobile dictionary called SPEARA. The mobile app was designed to help the students learn the use of specific words, providing definitions and examples of use from authentic sources. The study aimed at identifying points of learning students experienced when using the mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) by answering two questions: first, to what extent students improved their ESAP using MALL and second, how students perceived MALL for studying specific words in Computer Science. Data for this study were collected from 113 Computer Science students enrolled in English for Academic Purposes classes. Two data sets were compiled in this mixed-method study. The first data set consisted of test scores, and the second data set contained transcripts from interviews with students and students’ essays. Findings showed significant learning improvement in the use of MALL to students’ vocabulary knowledge (SD=0.992). Students perceived leaning using MALL to be both positive and rewarding. Interestingly, students revealed the use of MALL could not replace human interactions. Human interactions could enrich students’ understanding and allowed the exchange of ideas. Further implications on human-interactions in MALL and on the future investigation were also discussed.

Computer Assisted Learning (CALL) is defined as the process in which a learner improves language skills by using a computer. Hani (2014) argued that CALL enables individualized, continuous, and authentic activities to teach and integrate the four language skills and indicates that immediate feedback can be given. Thus, this research aims to investigate and analyze the use of Twitter to improve writing skills on senior high school students and to determine its effectiveness as a tool in EAP instruction. The participants were 19 students from the senior level and an English teacher. To conduct this research, a mixed-method design was applied; and a survey and pre-post tests were administered to the participants. At the end of the research process, the participants outperformed on post-testing of writing, therefore, it can be concluded that Twitter is an effective tool to improve the written production of senior high school students, and this micro-blogging platform can be integrated to enhance EAP instruction within EFL contexts.
