Therefore, the objective of this study was to demonstrate the impact produced by mobile applications, specifically the FunEasyLearn app, as an aid to enrich the students’ vocabulary and pronunciation in closure activities. The study participants were a group of seventh grade students from Colegio Técnico Profesional of Puntarenas. This group was made up of 27 students between 12 and 14 years of age. For data collection, the following instruments were used: an initial questionnaire, a pre-test, observations, a post-test, and a final questionnaire. These instruments were applied for the purpose of analyzing the use of the FunEasyLearn app in the closure activities for the enrichment of vocabulary and pronunciation; the results obtained demonstrated both limitations and benefits. Among the limitations, some students showed feelings of uncertainty in the face of new experiences, difficulty when using the application and low individual performance when using the app. However, the participants highlighted positive aspects such as increased confidence, participation, teamwork and better achievement when performing the pronunciation of the learned vocabulary.
