TEACHERS' SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS' USE OF DIGITAL RESOURCES THROUGH MOBILE DEVICES IN ENGLISH LEARNING
Abstract
support for their students’ use of digital resources through mobile devices to learn English.
The study involved 26 teachers in the department of English of a university in central
Vietnam and used a mixed methods approach collecting data from an online survey, semistructured interviews, classroom observations and digital evidence documentation. The
findings show that the teachers in general have provided various types of support to their
students in using digital resources to learn English which can be categorized into affection,
capacity and behavior support. The findings also reveal the teachers’ counter support due to
their concerns about students’ overuse and overdependence on digital resources that are
easily made available on mobile devices.
