Abstract
As the information age continues to develop, the use of electronic devices has become an important tool for university students to learn English. Many schools have begun to use mobile apps or mini programs on social media platforms to distribute learning information and assign learning tasks to their student body. This article aims to explore the psychological impact of mobile app programs on university students' English learning. Through a mixed-methods approach, this study investigated the psychological changes of university students from mainland China and Hong Kong when learning English through mobile apps. The results of the study show that learning through mobile devices can change the psychological state of university students, including changes in learning motivation, confidence, and mindset. The findings of this study provide insights and suggestions for English language teaching, especially for learning through electronic devices such as mobile phones.
