• In Event: Roundtables - Thursday
  In Roundtable Session: Roundtables I - RTD

Short Description

As language instruction shifts toward a more communicative purpose, the prevalence of mobile devices in our society affords an opportunity to situate learning in real contexts, increase the availability of authentic text and audio, and provide many ways to communicate in the target language. During this roundtable discussion we will review a qualitative case study on how mobile assisted language learning environments are being designed in higher education.
