Muhammad Hilmi Che Ahamad

Abstract

Abstract: Learning a second language (i.e. English) with the use of mobile technology has been widely accepted around the world. While there are numbers of research focusing on its effectiveness, students’ readiness in accepting the learning approach is yet to be studied. This research aims to investigate the level of readiness among students towards learning the English language via mobile.
