CALLPedagogy:MobilAppsSocMedia

This seminar will focus on the possibilities and pitfalls of using mobile devices in the language classroom, and in an individual’s own language-learning process. Our technological focus will be primarily the cell phone, but many of the applications available for mobile phone are designed to work on tablets as well. The focus of the course is less to learn specific applications, as new applications will have emerged by the time you graduate from MIIS. Rather the class will be aimed at helping teachers think through what stages of the language acquisition and language teaching process are most amenable to incorporating mobile phones, and how to mitigate the breakdowns and inequalities that technology use introduces into learning ecosystems.
