Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of blended learning with mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) in english courses at Borneo University Tarakan. An experimental design was used with 80 english as a foreign language (EFL) student randomly assigned to an experimental group (EG) receiving blended learning with MALL and a control group (CG) receiving traditional instruction. The results demonstrate that blended learning with MALL significantly improves language learning outcomes and increases motivation, engagement, and satisfaction. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting language learning outcomes from a blended approach using MALL and emphasizes the importance of innovative teaching methods and technology integration. The findings have practical implications for educators, suggesting that incorporating MALL in blended learning enhances language learning outcomes and student engagement. Further research can explore the impact of MALL on different language skills and strategies to enhance intrinsic motivation in MALL-blended learning. This research provides valuable insights for improving language instruction through blended learning approaches. © 2023 Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science. All rights reserved.
