The study enlightens the impact of Mobile learning in enriching the vocabulary in English at standard VIII. Objectives of the study: To find out the problems in enriching vocabulary in English at standard VIII. 2. To find out the impact of Mobile learning in enriching vocabulary in English. Hypothesis: There is no significant difference in achievement mean score between the pre test of experimental group and post-test of experimental group in enriching vocabulary. Variables: Mobile Learning and achievement mean scores were used as the variables in the study. Methodology: Equivalent group experimental method was adopted in the study. Sample: Seventy students (35 control group+35 experimental group) were selected as sample for the study. Tool: An achievement test was made by the researcher. Pilot study was administered towards the ten students. Validity: Validity was established by the juries' opinion. Reliability was established by the test-retest method. Statistical technique: ‘ t ’ test was used as statistical technique in the study. Finding: Mobile Learning is more effective than conventional methods in learning vocabulary in English at standard VIII .Educational implications: Mobile learning may be used to eliminate the problems and increase scores in other subjects also.

Abstract

The study enlightens the impact of Mobile learning in enriching the vocabulary in English at standard VIII. Objectives of the study: To find out the problems in enriching vocabulary in English at standard VIII. 2. To find out the impact of Mobile learning in enriching vocabulary in English. Hypothesis: There is no significant difference in achievement mean score between the pre test of experimental group and post-test of experimental group in enriching vocabulary. Variables: Mobile Learning and achievement mean scores were used as the variables in the study. Methodology: Equivalent group experimental method was adopted in the study. Sample: Seventy students (35 control group+35 experimental group) were selected as sample for the study. Tool: An achievement test was made by the researcher. Pilot study was administered towards the ten students. Validity: Validity was established by the juries' opinion. Reliability was established by the test-retest method. Statistical technique: ‘ t ’ test was used as statistical technique in the study. Finding: Mobile Learning is more effective than conventional methods in learning vocabulary in English at standard VIII .Educational implications: Mobile learning may be used to eliminate the problems and increase scores in other subjects also.
