초록

This study aims to examine parents’ perceptions toward mobile learning and evaluate an English education app. Thirty-one Korean parents, whose children are attending an English kindergarten and have been using an app for over six months, were chosen. The questionnaire was conducted with a semi-structured interview. The results showed that parents perceived the positive influences of m-learning, especially in reading and listening. Without time and space constraints and arousing learners' interest were suggested as advantages of m-learning. 'Learning content' of the app also gained a high score, which contradicts the results of previous studies. The focus on the reading of the app made young children less interested in m-learning while parents were overall satisfied with the app's ability to improve learners' language skills. Due to the small sample size, it might be difficult to generalize the results. However, they will provide useful insights and information as to what we can do to help promote the use of education apps.
