Basic school students’ perceptions of the application Memrise as an assisting tool for language learning

Different techniques for foreign language learning change and develop over time and mobile assisted learning has been growing in popularity over the past few years. Even though the techniques used in the applications are not new, the gamification aspect of them can motivate students to learn languages and have positive results in overall language knowledge. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to use the language learning application Memrise as an assisting tool for language learning and find out the perceptions of the students using the application and whether they could benefit from it. The study was conducted in a large basic school near Tallinn, Estonia among students from 6th and 9th grade.https://www.ester.ee/record=b5461669*es
