Penelope Coutas will present
m-learning = ME learning: mobile phones and the learning and teaching of LOTE

m-Learning, or ‘mobile learning,’ is the latest on the ‘e-learning’ scene.

In this presentation, Penny Coutas will explore the possibilities for learning and teaching Languages Other Than English (LOTE) using mobile technologies including mobile phones, personal data assistants, mp3 players and other portable devices.

Mobile phones and mp3 players, in particular, are becoming increasingly popular with our students and their application can engage learners and encourage language practice and use in and outside the classroom setting.

The old adage may go, ‘If you can’ beat them, join them’ but Penny Coutas argues that as language educators, we should also lead them (and be lead by them) in investigating the possibilities of m-Learning.

Intended Audience: LOTE teachers and anyobe else who is interested in the use of mobile technologies in teaching and learning.
