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 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.

[suraiya]

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.
