Abstract

By introducing the language learning mobile application BaiCiZhan, this paper conducts an experimental study on mobile technology-assisted vocabulary teaching for college non-English majors in order to explore the effectiveness of BaiCiZhan in English vocabulary learning and teaching. The results show that the vocabulary teaching based on BaiCiZhan has a positive effect on learners’ vocabulary proficiency and it has a long-term retention effect in learning vocabulary. What’s more, the learners also give a positive evaluation on mobile teaching as an effective aid to the traditional classroom teaching. Finally, some suggestions are made to further improve the application in English vocabulary teaching.
