在本研究中，我们调查了使用智能手机在英语作为外语EFL课堂的优势。我们比较了两组日本大学生，他们要么被禁止在课堂上使用智能手机，要么被鼓励在学术上使用智能手机，研究那些在EFL课程中使用智能手机的学生是否会表现出自主的倾向。结果表明，被鼓励在课堂上使用智能手机的学生倾向于在空闲时间学习更多，并表现出自主学习的迹象，并考虑如何改善自己的学习习惯和英语水平。我们的结论是，应该鼓励语言教师和学习者在课堂上使用智能手机，作为激发学习欲望的一种手段。
In the present study we investigate the advantages of using smartphones in an English as a foreign language EFL classroom. We compared two groups of Japanese university students who were either prohibited from using their smartphones in the classroom, or encouraged to use them for academic purposes, examining whether those using smartphones in their EFL lessons would show a tendency toward being autonomous. The results indicated that students who were encouraged to use their smartphones during class were inclined to study more in their free time as well as show signs of autonomy by taking charge of their learning and consider ways to improve their own study habits and English proficiency. Our conclusion is that language teachers and learners should be encouraged to use smartphones in the classroom as a means of fueling the desire to learn.
