| Abstract: | This research is a qualitative study on the use of mobile language learning applications for the integration of migrants by the local and regional government of the Netherlands. Learning the language of the host country is a necessity for migrants to integrate into the society and many European states have made specific language skills a requirement to enter their country. Mobile language learning applications may represent an opportunity here. There are multiple organisations that have highlighted the use of mobile learning as a trend in training and education. The usage of digital technologies is not mentioned in the New Integration Act. It is therefore important to investigate the use of mobile language learning applications by the government of the Netherlands. To do so, key informant interviews are conducted, with respondents that have been selected via convenience sampling. A critical analysis of the interviews is employed. The results of this study have indicated that mobile language learning applications are being used, but only to a limited extend and multiple disadvantages and barriers have been identified. |
