Mobile phones are getting popular day by day.The functions of mobile phones are enhanced by the advancement of the technology.Mobile phone sets give lots of advantages of usage like taking photoes,composing message,recording voices and downloading data from the internet etc. These facilities can be straight away applied in language learning both in the classroom and outside the classroom.

Learners can get the whole book on the internet and download it in the memory card.This can help learners to see the required book whenever they need. it.......(To be continued)

So far as I know "English in Action" has taken this project - to tecah Englsih to the rural teachers through mobile phone device. Mike Solly is the CEO of the project.
In the era of technology we should try to find out the ways to untilize technology in our education sector. Mobile phone learning can be of great help for us.

Dear Suraiya
Thank you for your comment. We can enhance our learning system in an easy process through the use of mobile phone.
-
interesting point to share...Rajon of 11th batch was looking into online text in a class while i was teaching T.S. Eliot in his mobile phone....i was happy to see that.
thanx for pointing such a good topic.
-
We can download different data from internet in our mobile phone...it takes some seconds to browse...really interesting...
-
Dear Mr. Rasel,
It is a very good job to initiate thsi topic. We can learn about how our students are utilizing technology and how we the teachers can contribute to it.
-
New conversation can be learnt from situation and context and can be sent to many learners via mobile sms. This will enhance instant learning process.
-
I would like to know who will send these to students and this will be conducted?

Dear Ms.Suraiya
It is not possible for all students of the whole country to do a speaking course together. If one group of students get a good piece of daily conversation they can send it to their friends and family via mobile sms. Of course,teachers and self access centre can be better source of conversation.
Thanks

This topic is an updated one I think.To cope with the students of 21st century,we have to know the language of technology.
I have also found the idea of sharing conversation text helpful.

I also find the idea interesting. I am thinking of materializing it at a small level
-
It will be much appreciated if some model of daily conversations are prepared and delevered to students vis mobile email/sms.
-
Mobile recorder can also be used for playing conversation...
-
Thank you Sir. If our teachers allow the students to use mobile recorder or any recorders for recording the class lectures, then they will be highly benefited. The students may put there mobile on the desk or in front of them for recording the class lectures. After finishing the class, they will listen the recordings later on. Sometimes, the students fall into problem while studying any texts at home. If they get this opportunity, their problems will be eliminated mostly.
-
Rajon, Thanks for your comment.I personally agree that part of the language -related lecture of the tutor can be recorded on the condition that you ask for permission of the concerned teacher(s).
Thanks
-
Thank you Mr. Rasel sir for your informative post.
-
mobile phone operators must serve this kind of service with easy handling & in a reachable way..........
-
Yea you are right...mobile phone operators can take initatives for e-learning through mobile phone sets.
-
My Indonesian and Turkish students are using mobiles in classrooms not receiving calls but for other activities...like looking for word meaning, recording, taking pic and so on. And its very effective for language learning.
-
Yea some modern mobile phone sets have dictionaries installed inside. Students can be directly benefitted from it.
-
I allow my students to use mobile phone when they want to use the dictionary. And now I think, I will help them to utilize mobile in class in a more effective way.
-
That's very nice of you.
Thanks

Mobile phones can also be used for listening to BBC and CNN news.
-

-
If we use the mobile phone on many positive side like book download,internet and etc,we can utilize the mobile phone.i wish all people will do this.

Dear all,
Concise Oxford English dictionary is available for Java as well as symbian operating mobile phones. Users will find meaning of a word at the same time they will find different forms of the word (such as noun, verb, adverb etc). Users will be benefited by finding the phonetic transcription of words. It is the mini-version of Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, which we may call as portable Oxford dictionary. It is better than any other mobile dictionaries (according to my using).This software will be found the following website- getjar.com, and it's completely free.

BBC janala is a good example of using Mobile Phone for Language Learning in our country.

yesterday in a class I told my students to check a website for more practice and just after a minute a student showed me the website through his mobile phone. At the end of the class, few students came to me and said 'we are new students...living in a hostel and we don't have computer or internet enabled mobile phone.'
Technology...is it making a polarised class?
