1 |
Technological Dependency |
Excessive use of
smartphone apps can create technological dependency and distract users from
other important off-screen activities. |
|
2 |
Content Quality |
Not all auditory
information available in apps may be of high quality or relevant to the
development of listening skills, which can make it difficult to select
appropriate content. |
|
3 |
Technical Limitations |
Some applications
may experience technical problems, such as Internet connection failures or
playback errors, which negatively affect the user experience and learning
effectiveness. |
|
4 |
Option Overload |
The sheer number of
applications available may overwhelm users and make it difficult for them to
choose the most appropriate application for their individual needs and
preferences. |
|
5 |
Lack of Social Interaction |
Although some apps
offer social features, such as discussion forums or online communities,
learning through smartphone apps can lack face-to-face social interaction,
which can limit the development of oral communication skills. |
