Mohammad Farhad , Hakim Sabzevari University, Sabzevar, IranAbstract
This study delves into the impact of Viber usage on vocabulary learning among Iranian EFL (English as a Foreign Language) university students, employing an interactionist framework. Viber, a popular messaging application, has become increasingly integrated into daily communication practices, offering potential implications for language learning contexts. Through qualitative and quantitative analysis, this research examines how the interactive features of Viber influence vocabulary acquisition and student engagement. Insights garnered from this study contribute to our understanding of technology-mediated language learning and inform pedagogical practices in EFL contexts.
