Phones are easy to use and very accessible by both students and teachers. “Smartphones allow us to take down notes any time, any place.” “smartphones allows you to access resources and material quickly before an exam.” “not only can we make videos, but we can also edit them, add text, filters, effects and more.” This is true because smartphones really do work in a way that is helpful to students and teachers. This evidence is supporting it by just stating that there are many cool and useful ways to use them.

Mobile Learning: It is very important for students to be in a position to learn from anywhere at any time. The education world is changing and many scholars are attending virtual classrooms. Online education is now becoming more popular than before, mobile phones have also helped in the growth of M-Learning (mobile learning). Unlike a computer, cell phones are light and easy to carry.

Mobile devices are prohibited in the school outside of the staffroom. However I understand that they can aid learning and development by giving the user access to content remotely at any time. This allows the user to review and revise at any time and on the go. It can also be used to receive , asses and respond to information sent to

2.2 - Teachers will demonstrate a knowledge of the research and theories behind second language acquisition and how they apply to the

Technology is becoming increasingly decentralized allowing for information to be accessed anywhere at anytime. Computer and communication technologies are an increasingly ubiquitous part of instruction across many disciplines necessitating a more flexible and mobile deployment

Mobile has revolutionized the education sector, if you get an iPod for free how will it? But first you have need to learn how to use it. Many Institutes in America have introduced programs for students that use these electronic gadgets for the purpose of learning which according to the author is called M-learning. Author states many students are now using these smartphones and other PDA’s containing different applications which are easily accessed to the Web-based services in different area of education like geology etc. Many Teachers and instructors have become familiar of it, so they are improvising such modules that

Every few years new foreign language teaching methods arrive on the scene. New textbooks appear far more frequently. New methods and textbooks may reflect current developments in linguistic/applied linguistic theory or recent pedagogical trends. Sometimes they are said to be based on recent developments in language learning theory and research. For example, one approach to teaching may emphasize the value of having students to imitate and practice a set of correct sentences

Many people believe that bringing cell phones to school may cause distractions. However, a recent study leads more and more people to believe that mobile phones could in fact be a “powerful learning tool” (Docksai), serving as a mobile computer ("Cell Phones in the Classroom” ). Elizabeth Hartnell- Young, a research fellow from the University of Nottingham tracked 331 students from 14 to 16 years old, for learning through cell phones. They used cell phones to make short videos, set homework reminders, record poems, and transfer files from home to school (Docksai). Students described their learning experience as “motivated” (Docksai). Many experts pointed out that students have a “deep comfort level” with mobile phones (Docksai). In other words, students could learn more if they enjoyed what they were doing. An increasing number of teachers have changed their point of view towards cell phones, many now believe that cell phones would exert positive effects on education. For example, some teachers have already started to collect homework online and answer questions through text- messaging. A school in Saskatchewan encouraged students to read and share thoughts about books through their cell phones (Docksai). Furthermore, according to a recent survey, the majority of students could refrain from using cell phones and not be distracted by them in class. In fact, over 71% of students didn’t

Secondly, it is no doubt that using mobile phones in campuses has many advantages. One reason is that using mobile phones in schools provide a new platform for education systems similarly as laptops, desktops and personal digital assistant (Rankin, 2008). Use mobile phones may help people to download power point slides, take notes, share ideas with others by Bluetooth and research questions on web side etc. Moreover mobile phones are used to check class schedules or take quizzes on the way to schools (Kharif 2008). The other reason is that students may have a good communication with their parents by using mobile phones during school time even for emergency situations. There is two third of parents contact their children during campus time, mainly to awoke them of medical appointments or other commitments. (Beattie, 2009) Consequently, students should be encouraged bring mobile phones to school.

Mobile phones are the communication device that can connect people with others in any places. Students nowadays rely on mobile phones as their communication devices with friends and parents. Some of them think mobile phones as a learning tool. Are they really essential as a learning tool? This essay will argue that mobile phones are a necessary tool for education but also they are not necessary tool for education. Firstly, it will explain why mobile phones are a necessary tool for education. Then it will explain why they are not.

Vocabulary plays a significant role in English as second language learning process. For the majority of English as Second Language(ESL) learners, the ultimate goal of learning the language is to understand (read and listen) and communicate (write and speak) with little difficulty and the lack of sufficient vocabulary may be the constraint of such goal (Folse, 2004). As the bedrock of English and as well as language, vocabulary also facilitates the development of other language skills: lexical richness leads to the progress in the use of language, namely listening, speaking, reading and writing skills (Nation, 1994). Reversely, The improvement in such skills may enhance learners vocabulary size as the exposure to more learning materials improves the capacity to acquire new vocabulary. (The importance of learning vocabulary/ why vocabulary?)

Osman et al. (2010) stated “learning by means of wireless technological devices that can be pocketed and utilized wherever the learner’s device is able to receive unbroken transmission signals.” Whereas Sharples et al. (2007) argues that “learning supported by mobile devices such as cellular (mobile) phones, portable computers, and personal audio players”.

The research presented in this article seeks to determine if Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) will improve foreign language learning versus an in-class curriculum setting. A numerous amount of current research examines CALL and its impact on non-native English speakers learning English as a foreign language. However, this study will focus on expanding the research further through the examination of three different foreign languages, ranked from easiest to hardest, that will be studied by native English speakers: Spanish, Russian, and Korean. These three languages are chosen due to the level of difficulty in regards to fluency for native English speakers, based upon a 2011 Foreign Service Institute of the U.S Department of State
