MALL

Mobile Assisted Language Learning, or “MALL” is creating the same buzz in the new millennium that computer-assisted language learning (CALL) created in the 1990s. MALL is language learning using mobile devices such as:

• cell (mobile) phones (including the iPhone)
• MP3 or MP4 players (e.g. iPods)
• Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) (e.g. Palm Pilot, Blackberry, etc.)

The main principles of MALL:

• it offers a way to access learning materials and to interact with teachers and peers;
• it involves much more than flexible resource access and an easy way to shorten distances between learners;
• it includes the incorporation of usage context as a significant learning element;
• it provides dynamics which are not available through the traditional classroom.

It can be plain text, an Internet address, a phone, coordinates of a place, etc. Their special kind makes it easier to read stored data using modern mobile phones equipped with cameras. It is enough to point the camera phone to the code and immediately get access to its contents.
