A SYNERGETIC MOBILE ESP MODEL FOR BIOCHEMISTRY STUDENTS

Abstract

This study proposes a synergetic Mobile English for Specific Purposes (ESP) model designed for biochemistry students in higher education. The research integrates mobile-assisted language learning (MALL), subject-specific vocabulary acquisition, and collaborative digital learning strategies. Using an IMRAD framework, the study examines the effectiveness of mobile-based learning tools in improving students’ academic English proficiency, scientific communication skills, and motivation. A mixed methods research design was employed involving pre and post tests, surveys, and classroom observations among undergraduate biochemistry students. Results indicate that the synergetic mobile ESP model significantly improved students’ reading comprehension, scientific writing, and oral presentation skills. The findings suggest that mobile technology enhances learner autonomy, promotes contextual vocabulary learning, and supports interdisciplinary knowledge integration.
