dc.description.abstractThe research project "Implementing M-learning to increase English vocabulary in A1-level learners using the Duolingo mobile app" studies how mobile learning (M-learning) affects vocabulary development in A1-level English learners. Mobile apps represent essential educational tools for language teaching, as they benefit educational institutions in low-resource settings due to the rapid advancement of technology in education. This study aims to determine the functioning of Duolingo as a mobile learning method for vocabulary acquisition in students, to strengthen the digital learning literature, and to develop advanced language teaching practices. Students participated in Duolingo vocabulary education for four weeks during the research. The study used vocabulary pre-and post-tests, along with qualitative feedback from students and teachers, to assess vocabulary growth, motivation levels, and usability. Students achieved improved vocabulary retention and use thanks to Duolingo's gamification features, which maintained their interest in language education. Mobile learning provided students with an adaptable instructional method that allowed them to learn vocabulary in a way that expanded their classroom vocabulary. Research findings demonstrate that mobile learning offers beneficial results over traditional teaching methods, allowing students to develop independence, interact better, and retain vocabulary more efficiently through apps like Duolingo. Based on the research findings, schools should adopt mobile learning platforms as complementary educational tools. Furthermore, ongoing studies on vocabulary retention through mobile apps should be conducted. Teachers need training on the effectiveness of educational technology, as well as on strategies for providing digital resources to struggling students.
