| metadata.dc.description.other-abstract: | The rapid development of technology and the need to acquire English listening and speaking skills in China have brought opportunities and challenges to Chinese university students. This study thus used explanatory sequential mixed methods to investigate opportunities and challenges in mobile learning in English listening and speaking skills. Data collected from 344 non-English major sophomores at a public university in Yunnan, China, were randomly recruited to complete a questionnaire, followed by semi-structured interviews with 10 of them. The results indicated that mobile learning was deemed more supported than rejected by the students who found it easy to use, useful, resourceful and manageable in self-learning; therefore, it brought them more opportunities to learn those two English skills actively and independently at anytime and anywhere easily rather than challenges demotivating them to learn the language. Such opportunities partly fulfilled the objectives of the Chinese government’s Education Informatization 2.0 Action Plan released in 2018. The learning purposes also reflected their extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, which was the driving force for opportunities to learn those two English skills. Recommendations for Chinese lecturers of English and future studies are provided. |
