Exploring the Effect of English Language Learning Apps on Iranian EFL Students’ Motivation and Educational Achievement abstract
The aim of this research was to investigate the educational effects of a pedagogical application called ''GAJ'' on the motivation and educational achievement of Iranian sixth-grade students. The participants were studying in both public and private schools. Their average age was 14.5. The research employed a quasi-experimental method using pre-test and post-test design. Researchers randomly selected 50 students. Half of them were assigned to the treatment group and the rest participated in the comparison group. For two months, the comparison group was taught English through traditional methods whereas the treatment group used an educational application. To gather the data, Bernard Warner’s motivation questionnaire with the reliability coefficient of 0.73 was used. In addition, one of the researchers made English tests of educational achievement. To measure the reliability of educational achievement tests, Cronbach’s Alpha was 0.75 for pre-test and 0.71 for post-test. The data was analyzed using analysis of covariance. Results indicated that the educational application had a positive effect on both the motivation and educational achievement of students in the English course.
