1. Introduction1.1 Research backgroundWith the progress of science and technology, great changes have been brought to people's life and production. In many changes, with the rapid development of mobile wireless technology, intelligent terminal and Internet information technology, mobile learning, a new learning mode, is gradually accepted by people and has gradually become the mainstream of life-long learning. This new way of learning is called mobile learning, which combines mobile communication technology, network technology and education, and has the characteristics of portability, interactivity, sharing, universality, personalization and so on. At the same time, many product developers began to use APP to develop learning resources. That is, modern education APP. APP means Application software, which is the abbreviation of Application. It usually refers to the third-party Application of smartphone, that is, various Application software installed in smartphone. As a unique resource, it has been widely concerned once it came out, and now it shows a rapid development momentum. According to the survey, almost every college student holds a mobile phone. This also shows that every college student can use mobile APP to learn. Mobile devices and wireless technology can create vivid, massive and real learning situations for students anytime and anywhere, let them explore and think, find out problems, use mobile devices to cultivate students' ability of information processing, problem solving, expression and communication, give full play to students' ability of self-learning, and improve learning effect. However, today's era is still an era of internationalization. English is the most widely used language in the world, so no matter communication or trade, it is inseparable from English. Therefore, in the education APP, English learning APP is the most prominent, with many users, occupying the center of education APP. With the development of mobile devices, the development of APP has turned to a more profound and meaningful Application form. As the British linguist Wilkins thinks, this kind of rich learning environment close to the reality will be conducive to stimulate students' interest in learning, let students learn anytime and anywhere, and gradually strengthen their listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities. For learners who are accustomed to using mobile devices and using mobile learning resources to assist learning, APP on mobile phones has become a very important English learning assistant tool, so it is very important to make full use of this resource. 1.2 Need for the studyThis study has practical significance. According to statistics, most of the college students' smart phones are basically equipped with more than one English learning APP. Nowadays, there are various kinds of Mobile English learning software, and the most important thing in English learning is to improve the ability of listening, speaking, reading and writing, so APP developers develop Applications according to different abilities. There are "daily English listening", "VOA and BBC" for training English listening ability; there are a large number of oral APPs for English video dubbing, training and improving English pronunciation and intonation, For example: "English interesting dubbing", "fluent speaking", etc.; there are "baicizhan", "Shanbei words" and "Bubei words" focusing on learning and memorizing English words; there are also "Shanbei reading" and "Bohe reading" presenting rich reading materials and improving reading ability. As a major English learning group, English majors can provide suggestions on how to effectively use the APP for autonomous learning and provide reference for English teaching using the APP. Finally, we can make full use of the advantages of APP learning.1.3 Research purposesThe purpose of this study is to investigate the use of APP by English learners, that is to say, the effect of APP on English learners' vocabulary, listening and speaking. First of all, a questionnaire survey will be conducted among the selected subjects. The name of the questionnaire was "questionnaire on the current situation and effect of College Students' English learning APP use". The questionnaire mainly involves the use time of college students in listening, vocabulary and oral English, as well as the feedback of users' attitudes and emotions. In this study, Pearson correlation coefficient will be used to analyze whether APP learning can significantly improve learning performance. 2. Literature reviewFirst of all, Mobile Learning (M-Learning or M-Education) is a new learning method that people use wireless mobile communication network technology and communication equipment to obtain education information and resources. It can enable any learner to learn independently through mobile terminals and networks at any time and place. Nowadays, most mobile learning is realized by installing APP in smart phone. For mobile learning, educator Dr. Desmond Keegan (1998) thinks that mobile learning is a special form of distance learning. Some scholars analyze mobile learning from the perspective of cognition and learning. They think that the mobility and context related characteristics of mobile learning make it a new learning method different from digital learning and online learning. The wireless Andrew project research launched by Carnegie Mellon University in 1994 has pioneered mobile education. The first mobile education research in China started with the report of "from e-learning to m-learning" made by Dr. Desmond Keegan, an international distance education expert, on the anniversary of Shanghai TV University in 2000. After that, more and more researchers joined in the research.As a kind of mobile learning, English APP learning has attracted many scholars' attention and research. There have been many studies on the effect of English learning APP on the improvement of students' performance. Researchers have studied APP from vocabulary, listening, speaking, reading and other aspects. Vocabulary is one of the basic elements of a language and a necessary prerequisite for language learning. Many scholars have done a lot of research on vocabulary learning from vocabulary learning software. Feng (2004) put forward that multimedia network technology can help learners expand their vocabulary from two aspects: the influence of the Application of vocabulary learning software on vocabulary teaching methods and its Application in vocabulary teaching practice. Lucas and Hom (2020) of Hong Kong Polytechnic University found that most students support the use of Applications in second language vocabulary learning by studying students' cognition of vocabulary learning Applications, and students are generally satisfied with the Applications. Chen C.M, Chen L.C. and Yang (2018) improve learners' learning performance and motivation in mobile learning environment by developing an English vocabulary learning Application with self-regulated learning mechanism (EVlAPP-SRLM). The achievement of learners has been improved significantly. Zheng (2007) discusses that multimedia computer-aided English vocabulary teaching can effectively mobilize students' participation and enthusiasm. The comparison of the effect of two kinds of vocabulary learning software in senior high school students' vocabulary learning, (Chen, 2012) points out that vocabulary learning software is more effective than traditional vocabulary learning methods. Zhu (2018) proved the effectiveness of using word memorizing software in learning words through experiments. At the same time, it also proves that word APP, as a learning tool for teaching and learning, has great potential.The research of English APP for learners' oral English also shows the effectiveness of APP. Liu and Xiao (2017) analyzed the auxiliary role of "English interest dubbing" APP in oral English learning, discussed the basic strategies of its Application in college oral English practice and effective guidance of oral English teaching practice to improve students' oral English ability. A study is to explore and change the traditional teaching methods of business English oral skills by using English learning applications (Zhao, 2017). Qu (2016) analyzed the application in word memory, listening training, oral training and reading training, and concluded that the application can help learners improve their ability. Chen (2019) pointed out in the study of "tomato English" APP that the emergence of APP learning made up for the shortcomings of traditional oral English teaching, increased the interest of English, and stimulated students' interest in learning.Listening plays an important role in English learning, so it is necessary to study English listening APP. By analyzing the impact of smart phone applications on junior high school students' English listening improvement, the study found that mobile phone applications will bring new experience to English listening teaching (Ren, 2019). Fan (2019) found that the students' English listening scores have been improved satisfactorily through the use of Shanbei listening APP. The research of Si (2017) points out that listening APP increases learners' interest in learning, provides learners with interesting, contemporary and personalized learning resources, and students can get a great sense of satisfaction and achievement in the learning process.Through literature search, it can be found that almost all scholars only study the single function of APP. Although it is concluded that APP can effectively help learners improve their vocabulary, listening and speaking abilities, we can't know which of the three abilities is the most effective, that is, which ability is the most affected by APP.
