Effects of the Production-Oriented Approach-Based Mobile Learning on Learning Outcomes, Motivation, and Satisfaction in EFL Context

This study investigates the impact of integrating the Production-Oriented Approach (POA) with mobile learning on learning outcomes, motivation, and satisfaction in the EFL context. The rationale is to improve learning effectiveness by integrating the POA’s focus on real-world language use with the flexibility of mobile learning, addressing the latter’s limitation of lacking a structured approach to language output for practical skills development. Using a quasi-experimental design, 110 participants were divided into experimental and control groups based on their English proficiency. The experimental groups engaged in POA-based mobile learning, while the control groups used non-POA-based mobile learning methods. The results showed that POA-based mobile learning significantly improved learning outcomes, especially for students with higher English proficiency, and notably boosted motivation, particularly among lower proficiency learners. Furthermore, learner satisfaction was also significantly enhanced in the POA-based mobile learning groups. These findings suggest that combining the POA with mobile learning provides a promising approach to addressing challenges in EFL education by promoting language output and fostering increased motivation and satisfaction. Future research could explore the long-term effects of this integration across diverse educational contexts.
