In communication learning by second language, three abilities have to be improved; listening, speaking and writing abilities. In this sense, it is important to evaluate user’s pronunciation ability and to detect mispronunciations in English CALL (Computer-Assisted Language Learning) systems. In this paper, we propose three functions (segmentation, phrasing and pronunciation evaluation) in the C...

Mobile technologies have been successfully implemented in language learning, and have supported various innovative designs. However, many of these designs require considerable technical knowledge and support that are beyond the workload capacity of most language teachers. This paper discusses a study using an over-themarket mobile device combined with a task-based approach to design a contextua...

Mobile Technology is constantly evolving and offering new capabilities for supporting higher data transmission, storage, and multimedia formats that can be beneficial for Language Acquisition. Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) publications have been reviewed for two main perspectives: The Content -based approach and the Designissues approach. This study focuses on understanding these app...

Review by Pia Sundqvist, Karlstads Universitet Technology-mediated TBLT: Researching Technology and Tasks, edited by Marta González-Lloret and Lourdes Ortega, presents a new framework in which tasks and technology are integrated in the language curriculum. Although Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) have been around for some time, the integration ...

Mobile learning is undergoing rapid evolution. While early generations of mobile learning tended to propose activities that were carefully crafted by educators and technologists, learners are increasingly motivated by their personal learning needs, including those arising from greater mobility and frequent travel. At the same time, it is often argued that mobile devices are particularly suited ...
