Abstract

The article presents the results of a research whose purpose was to know the use made in the university field of mobile devices and the applications used in the subjects taught in foreign languages. Based on an ex post facto descriptive research design, 86 students from the Faculty of Education of the University of Murcia participated in the sample. A questionnaire was used to collect data made ad hoc, validated by the validation procedure by expert judgments and the reliability was analyzed using Cronbach's alpha. The results show that Apps are adequate tools for language learning, although they are not used as such in the different educational, university and non-university environments.
