dc.description.abstract | The use of ICT in education has become increasingly important in the education
systems of both developed and developing countries. ICT as a course has been
introduced in the university programmes. Several researchers have identified a
Smartphone as a promising form of ICT in education systems which can
revolutionalize career formations. However, there is need for a profound reflection on
its possible use in the learning of French as a foreign language in the public
universities. This study explored the use of a Smartphone in the learning of French as
a foreign language by undergraduate students of the public universities in Kenya. The
study focused on the following objectives: First, it assessed the use of a Smartphone
in the learning process of French as a foreign language by undergraduate students in
universities in Kenya. Secondly, it established when undergraduate students turn to
the use of Smartphones in the learning of French as a foreign language. Lastly, it
evaluated if the frequent use of a Smartphone by undergraduate students of the
public universities in Kenya, adds value to their oral and written linguistic competence.
The new knowledge derived from this study would enhance and contribute to new
learning techniques of French in the context of the use of a Smartphone. This
knowledge would also guide on how this device can be integrated in the learning of
French as a foreign language. | en_US |
