dc.description.abstractThe general objective of this study is to investigate how mobile applications contribute to improve the speaking skills of A1 level English students of 2BGU "G". The methodology used has a post-positivist paradigm. The research approach is quantitative and qualitative. The research is descriptive and applied. The selected population corresponds to a total of 31 students belonging to English level A1. The technique applied to collect information is based on two questionnaire-type instruments, pre-test, post-test scale and motivational scale. The data obtained were processed by means of a statistical test created using Microsoft Excel. The results obtained determine that most students face certain levels of demotivation in relation to pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar of the English language in the first test, the research results suggest that students have a moderate motivation to use mobile applications to practice oral production skills. Teachers can increase students' motivation by providing opportunities to learn and practice English in a way that is relevant to their interests and provides them with a sense of accomplishment. Subsequently, in the post-test, when using the applications interactively with the selected group, the transcendent progress of the elementary indicators in the development of oral production of the English language was evidenced in the second survey. Teachers can increase students' motivation by providing external rewards, such as the possibility of getting a good job or a good salary in the future. They can also personalize activities, use technology effectively, and help students develop a growth mindset.
