Abstract
The findings reveal significant improvements in students’ self-reported motivation, confidence in speaking, and active engagement during classroom activities. Gamified features, interactive exercises, and immediate feedback contributed to enhanced vocabulary acquisition and reduced language anxiety. Students reported that mobile applications allowed for self-paced learning, continuous practice, and collaborative interaction with peers, which reinforced their language skills in authentic contexts. The study concludes that mobile applications serve as effective tools for enhancing EFL learning, providing both cognitive and social benefits, and recommends their structured integration into classroom instruction to maximize learning outcomes.
