Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of integrating the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) approach into an intensive English course for Ukrainian military personnel at a higher military educational institution. The research focused on assessing the impact of BYOD on the service members’ English proficiency and their perception of its implementation. The experimental study applied a mixed-method research design combining quantitative and qualitative approaches and involving a survey of the participants, collecting evidence through the proficiency test and questionnaires, and statistical data processing. The study procedure consisted of three stages: preliminary, enactment and evaluation. During the preliminary stage, the service members’ experience with using portable electronic devices and their readiness for the BYOD approach were examined. The enactment stage involved the implementation of the experimental training, while the evaluation stage focused on assessing the effect of BYOD incorporation into an intensive English course for Ukrainian military personnel. The results demonstrated that the BYOD approach had a positive influence on the service members’ English proficiency. Regarding the participants’ perceptions, they expressed overall approval of BYOD implementation during the course. Among the BYOD-integrated activities, they found beneficial tasks aimed at developing listening skills, information searching, checking meaning of new words and spelling, vocabulary acquisition, testing, sharing information, communicating with groupmates, as well as personal consulting and assisting from the instructor. The participants also highly evaluated positive influence of the BYOD approach on their English proficiency, vocabulary acquisition, listening, speaking and searching skills. However, they expressed some disagreement regarding its beneficial effect on critical thinking, motivation, self-discipline, communicative skills, cooperation abilities and creativeness. The findings contribute to the development of practical recommendations for integrating BYOD into foreign language courses at higher military educational institutions.
