Student Engagement in the Age of Mobile Devices

The primary focus of this presentation will be to offer an answer to a very complex question: What is the future of language learning? The presenter will explore how mobile devices fit into the future of language learning and how cell phones have been used in conjunction with new web-based telephony tools to achieve a greater level of student engagement and accountability in the language learning process and to turn the focus to whole language comprehensible output. Participants may want to read a recent EDUCAUSE Quarterly article on the subject (http://tinyurl.com/yce7knc) before the session.
