Mobile-assisted language learning applications (MALL) has significant potential in the developing world where access to teachers and classrooms are real barriers to learning. This demonstration of an Android-based mobile language learning application is used to teach vocabulary and employs off-line Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-to-speech (TTS) technologies with custom-built langua...

This study attempted to evaluate and compare language learning apps and the related traditional books on the same subject. The apps included Murphy’s English Grammar and Cambridge Discovery Readers and the traditional materials were English Grammar in Use and Developing Reading Skills. The study, thus, aimed to do a comparative analysis between traditional ELT materials and the digital versions...

the production, distribution, and consumption of information are the most important development indices of any nation. plenty of opportunities were created by e-learning which have overall paved the grounds for and enriched the presentation of learning materials through advanced audiovisual educational facilities. such learning environments are by and large flexible and provide more appropriate...

this study aimed at examining the major mobile wireless technologies, that is,mobile phones and the possibilities associated with them, currently in use in theeducational domains, with an emphasis on language teaching and learning practices.accordingly, some of the most typical studies using different functions of mobilephones such as e-mail, multimedia capabilities, wireless application protoc...

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 ...

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...

This study provides a systematic review of mobile assisted language (MALL) research within the specific area of second language acquisition (SLA) during the period of 2005-2012 in terms of research approaches, theories and methods, technology, and the linguistic knowledge and skills’ results. The findings show a shift from the prevailing SMS-based language learning in 2005-2008 towards the use ...

The ready-to-hand access of mobile devices creates the potential for practicing the novel approach of ‘seamless learning’, marked by continuity of the learning experience across different contexts. In a related note, the focus of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning is swinging to authentic or social mobile learning activities. In turn, we propose perspectives and approaches to address the need of...

Mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) was first introduced in 1993 and became a sub-area of the growing field mobile research. It has inspired learners to make use “anytime” “anywhere” technology, key concepts MALL. Though some apps for Mandarin are available, many challenges current MALL technology have been recognized. In order tackle these challenges, we (author her colleague Computer Sci...
