abstract |
The application of mobile technologies to learning has the potential to facilitate
the active participation of learners in the creation and delivery of content. They
can also provide a powerful connection between a variety of formal and informal learning
contexts and can help to build a community of learners. However these versatile tools
present challenges to educators and learners alike. The paper discusses the pedagogical
challenges that result from the introduction of mobile technologies in language learning
in the context of an intensive week of study abroad. We describe and evaluate a pilot
project that uses mobile blogging to promote a constructivist, situated and informal
learning experience of the foreign language and culture based on theories of active
learning. We aim to encourage interaction and a sense of community among learners
outside formal educational environments and in different locations as we ask them
to engage with the foreign culture by capturing, sharing and reflecting on their experiences
for their peers. |
