Abstract
Many EFL students may not have a rich vocabulary which allows them to use English
communicatively. Mobiles are popular devices that can enhance students’ vocabulary.
The present study aims to identify teachers’ and students’ attitudes towards the
effectiveness of using mobile-assisted language learning in enhancing students’
vocabulary knowledge. In order to achieve this aim, two questionnaires have been
distributed. The first one was delivered to twenty (20) teachers at the department of
English, Larbi Ben M’Hidi University. The second one was administered to sixty (60)
Students, first year Master. After the analysis of the questionnaires’ results, we notice
that both EFL teachers and students have positive attitudes towards the usefulness of
mobile devices to learn vocabulary.Therefore; teachers should encourage students to
use mobile applications to learn English vocabulary. They also have to implement
both printed materials and mobile devices to teach vocabulary.
