Resumo: A considerable number of studies on mobile-assisted language learning have been conducted, but less attention has been paid to online informal learning of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) performed using smartphones among undergraduate EFL learners in Indonesia. Thus, this study was specifically aimed at investigating EFL learners’ most frequently-performed EFL learning activities through smartphones, the predominant online language use, and the relationship between EFL learners’ predominant online language use and their perceived EFL proficiency. The study adopted a quantitative approach. The findings reveal that the participants still more frequently access content and information from their smartphones for receptive rather than interactive/productive online activities. Indonesian, which is the participants’ first language, is still predominantly used for their online activities. The mean score of the perceived EFL proficiency of those who frequently perform online activities in English is statistically and significantly higher than those performing online activities in Indonesian. Overall, the mean score of the perceived EFL proficiency of those performing online activities in English is higher than those in Indonesian, although the difference is not statistically significant. Finally, the study’s implications with suggestions for future research are discussed.

Finally, the study’s implications with suggestions for future research are discussed.Um número considerável de estudos sobre o aprendizado de idiomas assistido por celular foi realizado, mas menos atenção foi dada ao aprendizado informal online do Inglês como Língua Estrangeira (ILE), realizado usando smartphones entre os alunos de graduação em ILE na Indonésia. Assim, este estudo teve como objetivo específico investigar as atividades de aprendizagem de ILE mais frequentemente realizadas pelos alunos de ILE por meio de smartphones, o uso predominante de idiomas online e a relação entre o uso predominante de idiomas online dos aprendentes de ILE e sua percepção de proficiência em ILE. O estudo adotou uma abordagem quantitativa. As descobertas revelam que os participantes acessam com mais frequência conteúdo e informações de seus smartphones para atividades online receptivas, em vez de interativas/produtivas. O Indonésio, que é o primeiro idioma dos participantes, ainda é usado predominantemente em suas atividades online. A pontuação média da proficiência percebida no ILE daqueles que frequentemente realizam atividades online em inglês é estatisticamente e significativamente maior do que aqueles que realizam atividades online na Indonésio. No geral, a pontuação média da proficiência percebida no ILE daqueles que realizam atividades online em inglês é mais alta do que na indonésia, embora a diferença não seja estatisticamente significativa. Finalmente, são discutidas as implicações do estudo, com sugestões para futuras pesquisas.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2020-08-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivre/article/view/2465710.35699/1983-3652.2020.24657Texto Livre; Vol. 13 No. 3 (2020): Thematic dossier: Learning technologies; 103-120Texto Livre; Vol. 13 Núm. 3 (2020): Dossier temático: Tecnologías del aprendizaje; 103-120Texto Livre; Vol. 13 No 3 (2020): Dossier thématique: technologies d'apprentissage; 103-120Texto Livre; v. 13 n. 3 (2020): Dossiê temático: Tecnologias da aprendizagem; 103-1201983-3652reponame:Texto livreinstname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGenghttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivre/article/view/24657/19609https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHuzairin, HuzairinPutrawan, Gede EkaRiadi, Bambang2021-01-05T00:41:02Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/24657Revistahttp://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivrePUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivre/oairevistatextolivre@letras.ufmg.br1983-36521983-3652opendoar:2021-01-05T00:41:02Texto livre - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
