The abstract highlights the transformative impact of the technological revolution, particularly smartphones, on educational methodologies, with a focus on English language learning. It explores the effectiveness of mobile applications in enhancing vocabulary acquisition among university students, examining their perceptions and usage. Through a structured survey conducted with undergraduates from various disciplines at a private university, the study assessed usage patterns, preferences, and the perceived benefits of mobile apps compared to traditional methods. The findings reveal a strong preference for these tools, with many students using them daily or weekly, underscoring their popularity and effectiveness. Features such as gamification and audio-visual support were especially valued for their ability to enhance engagement and make vocabulary learning more flexible and efficient.
