本研究旨在探讨WhatsApp在英语习语教学中的作用。数据来自于33名B1水平的学生。研究人员通过WhatsApp向学生们提供了为期五周的每周三个习语。参与者找到了例句，在他们的WhatsApp小组中分享，并用英语讨论了这些习语的用法和意义。学生们接受了一项成绩测试，并对一组学生进行了访谈，以了解这一应用程序的有效性。结果揭示了学生如何受益于WhatsApp作为一种学习工具，以及他们对课堂外移动学习的反应。这一发现突显了移动学习在外语教育中的地位。
This study aims at investigating the effect of WhatsApp on teaching English idioms to EFL students. The data were collected from 33 B1 level students. The researchers provided the students with three idioms per week for five weeks via WhatsApp. The participants found sample sentences, shared them in their WhatsApp groups, and had discussions in English regarding the use and meaning of the idioms. Students were given an achievement test and a sub-sample group of students were interviewed to see the effectiveness of this application. The results revealed how students benefited from WhatsApp as a learning tool and their reactions to mobile learning outside the classroom context. The findings highlight the place of mobile learning in foreign language education.
