Week 11: The mobile generation

(Mobile assisted language learning)




The mobile generation



The article for this week entitled "Mobile assisted language learning" has a lot of interesting things that i want to take a count in my future classes ,and apply in my lesson plans to be more effective , dynamic and meaningful the learning process.


Something that made me want to read more about was how smart devices (cellphones, ipad, ipod, laptop) allow to test students in a more creative and interactive way. First, videos, applications, songs, games and social networks can be used to test learners by giving them a worksheet in which they can complete exercises related to a specific task. Also, this type of activity gets students' attention, and makes them focus on the lesson. Moreover, it develops students’ skills like a listening, writing comprehension, speaking and reading. Video games are used by students to practice any topic .As a consequence, learners tend to be more excited to learn and less worried when taking a test. To conclude, electronic devices make of the process of learning a more enjoyable and less complex, and also foster a more democratic atmosphere, more environmentally friendly than paper, a more inclusive classroom, and it offers an opportunity to educate students about media use tests.
