The framework for the rational analysis of mobile education (FRAME): enhancing speaking skills for military officers

In the current context of the post Covid-19 pandemic, the field of education has witnessed a significant shift from traditional classroom settings to online learning platforms. However, the accessibility of technology, particularly laptops and computers, remains a hindrance for learners in their pursuit of acquiring proficient speaking skills. Consequently, this obstacle necessitates exploration of alternative solutions, such as mobile applications, which hold promise for enhancing English language proficiency. Prior to the development of mobile applications for ESL classrooms, it is essential to examine and consider the Framework for the Rational Analysis of Mobile Education (FRAME). Therefore, this paper aims to critically review FRAME and its applicability in designing mobile apps to enhance speaking skills for military officers. By thoroughly analyzing FRAME, it becomes evident that this model offers a highly effective design for mobile learning, encompassing three key components that contribute to a comprehensive instructional output. Consequently, the incorporation of FRAME-aligned teaching and learning modules within a mobile application ensures a conducive and holistic mobile learning environment. It is therefore concluded that the integration of FRAME within mobile language learning will yield substantial benefits for learners, educators, and stakeholders alike.
