Abstract

Information technology advancements, notably in the field of education, have led to a surge in smartphone use in many spheres of life. In the classroom, smartphones can support creative teaching methods. Other institutions, though, still forbid teachers from using smartphone during lectures or other forms of more conventional instruction. In the era of digital literacy, Generation Z’s use of smartphones could improve educational policies and practices. The goal of this study is to ascertain whether smartphone can aid students in their English-language acquisition. Seventh-grade junior high school students participated in an 80-respondent qualitative descriptive study of this kind. Data for this study were gathered using the lifting technique using surveys, interviews, and a structured interview with the researcher’s wife. The four steps of data analysis include data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. According to the findings, students will most likely use technology in the digital age. Up to 81.3% of students are interested in using gaming apps on their smartphone to learn, and 82.5% of students believe that learning English on a smartphone is simpler. MGBL, which is also intended to foster students’ creativity and critical thinking, is thought to help students’ comprehension of English.
