The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of a mobile application (Speaking 200) on Korean middleschool students’ achievement and satisfaction. Two groups participated in this study: the experimentalgroup who worked with the application and the control group who was provided with handouts. Eachgroup was divided into two subgroups based on the subjects’ score of a standardized listening test. Participants took a pretest at the beginning of the study and completed the posttest and survey after sixweeks. Independent t-tests were used to analyze differences in experimental and control groups for bothelementary and advanced level learners. Results revealed a significant difference between pre and postscores for elementary level learners. The results indicate that use of mobile application was more effectivefor the elementary level of learners than advanced learners. As for the survey results, participants responseswere relatively positive in terms of functionality, ease of use and portability. Comments on improvementsof the mobile application were collected from participants using an open-ended questionnaire. Educationalimplications of the study and further research were suggested based on the findings.
