Research Instruments

The value of this research will not be complete if it did not use any reference to support

the study by analyzing, interpreting and evaluating the problems and issues regarding the topic

conducted.

The researchers used some reference in the library to give an answer to their queries, to

enlighten their minds regarding the study and to prove the ideas and concepts used in the

study. They patiently browsed books and spared their most time in finding facts and ideas that

will support the study.

They carefully and religiously scrutinized the possible ideas and concepts that were

included in the materials which are found the University library with all its relevance, validity

and truthfulness.

The resources (REFERENCES) can be seen and found at the latter part of this research.
INTERNET

This is called the “interlinked of network of networks” where you can see the power

that a computer has the ability to access and to connect from the different links and

information around the world. This is how computer and internet work. It make all things

visible, reliable and touchable meaning it can make things possible. Internet also has the ability

to communicate and to exchange information in whenever and wherever computer you are

using it with. Through the use of the World Wide Web (www), it gives your bulky yet relevant

information which you can use to support your studies. With the used of it, students nowadays

can timelessly and efficiently access it at their convenience. However, it is also important to

assess and to filter the information that the World Wide Web tries to give you because some of

them contain fallacious and delusion information, and as a researcher or the ones who are

using it let us be assertive in every way possible.

QUESTIONNAIRE

The researcher used questionnaire as a statistical tool for this research. This tool

includes the different and possible questions that will surely or frequently ask regarding the

study conducted, for the research to be more comprehensible and understandable. The

questions posted are connected to the study being conducted which will give answers to the

problems that this study contains.

The questionnaires are shared to and answered by the respondents and the researcher

diligently gathered and summarized the answers all the questions being thrown.
DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURES

Before floating the questionnaire, the researcher asked permission from the University

Dean of the College of Teacher Education of the same university to undertake the study among

the students of the College. Upon approval, the researcher requested the English teachers to

assist in the floating of the questionnaire.

Elicitation techniques as suggested by Freeman and Long (1991) were used to gather the

influence on how mobile phones enhance the vocabulary development of the students.

Checklist is another method used in which the respondents checked the rate of

frequency towards their attitude and behaviors of the statement presented. Descriptors are

categorized according to the rate of frequency in line with the possible statements that best

describe the attitude or behavior of the respondents. A free writing task was given to the

students as second part of their questionnaire. They were asked on how the mobile phone

affects and enhances their vocabulary.

Statistical Treatment Data

Data were collated, summarized and tabulated. These were categorized and described

by computing descriptive statistics. These statistics are given to the analysis of data that helps

describe, show or summarize data in a meaningful way such that, patterns might emerge from

the data. These statistics included the frequency counts and descriptors which are very

important because if it simply presented raw data it would be hard to visualize what the data
was showing. It therefore, enabled to present the data in a meaningful way, and which allows

simpler interpretation of the data.
