| dc.description | The learning and teaching of English for Specific Academic Purposes (ESAP) at Malaysian engineering and technical (MTUN) universities is vital in ensuring quality learning and teaching of language and communication skills at those institutions. With the upsurge of information and communication technology in education, an innovative and interesting revolutionary approach towards learning is identified through mobile. As such, a credible mobile learning framework for the context of this study is deemed necessary. This is due to the grey area identified in the present related literature for mobile language learning in terms of specific framework for ESAP. Using three elements of Community of Practice theory, this study aims to develop a workable mobile learning framework for ESAP in technical and engineering context termed as MeLESAP. The development of the framework adapted type two design and development research method in three phases: Framework Design, Framework Development and Framework Evaluation. The first phase was a review of related literature in which seven constructs and 180 indicators for MeLESAP framework were identified. The seven constructs were known as 'Learner', 'Content', 'Learning Design', 'Learning Space', 'Practitioner', 'Technology', and 'Evaluation/Assessment & Feedback'. There were also seven hypotheses formed based on the developed constructs. The second phase was the confirmation of the identified constructs and indicators using Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) with 11 experts from respective fields. Using FDM and in the later part filtered by Rasch measurement analysis, the indicators were refined to 133 and then confirmed at 89 respectively. Finally, an online survey was conducted in the third phase and the data were gathered from 52 ESAP MTUN practitioners via google docs. The phase finalised 67 indicators of seven constructs for MeLESAP framework based on partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) analysis. The measurement model from the PLS-SEM analyses using SmartPLS software version 3.0 verified the validity and reliability of MeLESAP framework. This signified the workability of the framework in developing an effectual mobile application for teaching and learning of ESAP at the targeted context. Resultantly, the findings confirmed that MeLESAP framework embodies the right constructs for ESAP learning via mobile. Interestingly, the hypotheses testing on the seven constructs revealed 'Evaluation/Assessment and Feedback' construct as the only one that has positive orientation towards MeLESAP framework. This implicated a weak support on specific framework for a specific discipline or context, despite the various evidences from the identified literature. This apparently confirms the unavailability of explicit framework to cater for such condition; the broad-spectrum approaches sustained by the present mobile learning frameworks seemingly sufficient to be the basis in developing mobile learning application. Such contrast which is against the evidences identified particularly in relation to ESAP literature calls for a more thorough and expansive investigations and involvement from technical, engineering and ESL curriculum developers of other fields to further ascertain hence, contribute to a more robust and valid mobile language learning model and implementation.,Ph.D. | - |
