Abstract:

This study was conducted on the use of mobile devices to improve the writing skills of Alternative Learning System (ALS) students. The focus of the study is the effect of Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) in the Guinean Senior High School. A quasi-experimental research design was used with pre and post-tests on participants to measure changes and post-intervention. The purpose of the study is to determine the significant difference in the use of Mobile Assisted Language Learning using the Kotobee app to improve the writing of ALS students. Based on the findings, there is a big gap in the scores of those who underwent the traditional method compared to those who used MALL using the Kotobee app. Throughout the analysis, a significant difference (p-value = .000) emerged in the tests of the control and experimental groups. This indicates that students in the experimental group did better because of the intervention. In other words, students in the experimental group showed better performance compared to the control group, indicating that using MALL with the Kotobee app improves their writing ability.
