Publication Open Access Mobile learning in the foreign language classroom(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2015) Luque Agulló, Gloria; Martos Vallejo, NatividadThis paper deals with Mobile learning (m-learning) and how it can be used to teach a second or foreign language in the classroom. First, a review of the use of technology in the classroom is considered. Second, m-learning is defined in connection with diverse educational theories such as behaviourism and constructivism. Third, an exhaustive listing of those features, functionalities and affordances intended specifically to teach a foreign language is provided. Fourth, these characteristics and possible uses are implemented through a lesson plan for Baccalaureate students in which there is an educational use of social networks and mobile devices. Fifth and last, we state some attitudes towards mobile devices across schools and institutions which are holding back their implementation in language classrooms, concluding on a positive note: these new technologies can actually improve language learning.
