This is because digital literacy is changing quickly, and the COVID-19 Pandemic is happening all over the world. Increased access to educational apps and the internet via Smartphones resulted in borderless and flipped learning. Smartphones make learning possible anywhere and anytime for digital natives of today. The current study investigates how students feel about the effectiveness of smartphones for learning English. This study was descriptive, and a mix of methods was used to gather data. Data was gathered by having students fill out questionnaires about themselves. The questionnaires were sent to a sample of one thousand B. Tech students from two universities; three autonomous colleges in Andhra Pradesh; and one autonomous college in Madhya Pradesh. The information gathered was looked at in both qualitative and quantitative ways. The study's results showed that, on the one hand, some of the people in the study were more aware of how mobile devices could help them learn and how they could use them to find the right tools and information to help them achieve their goals, meet their needs, and learn English in a way that worked best for them, while on the other hand, most of the people in the study used their phones in class in an intuitive or ad hoc way.

Communication is simply the act of transferring information from one place to another, whether this is vocal, written, visually, or non-verbally. How well this information can be transmitted and received is a measure of how good our communication skills are. Developing communication skills can help all aspects of a person's life, from professional life to social gatherings and everything in between. The ability to communicate information accurately, clearly, and as intended, is a vital life skill and something that should not be overlooked. Communication is a crucial part of second language learning and teaching. In the professional world, communication matters to the core, and oral communication at the workplace is vital to the success of any organization. Proper communication, bonding, and trust are built amongst the employees which promote excellent working conditions. The 21st century has been adjudged an era of communication; innovative technologies have revolutionized the business world. In the 'instant world' that epitomizes dynamism the way we convey our thoughts plays a major role in building relationships. Hence there is a need to refine our oral communication.
