Lexical competence, principles, mobile-assisted language learning, vocabulary acquisitionAbstract
This study examines the effectiveness of a mobile application–based approach to developing lexical competence among learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). An experimental design was employed, involving control and experimental groups. While the control group learned vocabulary through traditional methods, the experimental group used a mobile application focused on contextualized and learner-centered vocabulary learning. The results of pre-tests, post-tests, and retention tests show that learners in the experimental group achieved higher vocabulary gains and better long-term retention. The findings indicate that mobile-assisted vocabulary instruction can enhance lexical competence and learner engagement in EFL contexts.
