Tablets in Second Language Learning: Learners' and Teachers' Perceptions
Research-publishing.net, Paper presented at the EUROCALL 2019 Conference (27th, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, Aug 28-31, 2019)
This study explores the perceptions of English as a Second Language (ESL) learners and teachers on using tablets in their language classrooms, focusing on the device's four inherent affordances: learnability, usability, motivation, and willingness to use the technology. Adopting a quantitative and qualitative approach for data collection and analysis, our findings revealed overall positive perceptions from both ESL learners and their teachers on all four measures adopted (all above 3.4/5); these results were also corroborated by our thematic analysis of the interviews.
