A MOBILIDADE NA APRENDIZAGEM: UMA NOVA DIMENSÃO PARA A APRENDIZAGEM DE LÍNGUA ESTRANGEIRA MEDIADA POR TELEFONE CELULAR

Abstract

Digital technologies are becoming increasingly present in social environments, changing the way we behave and consequently, the way we learn. As humans evolve, new habits are created and, with these, we need to face new challenges. The integration of new technologies to our everyday life and the easy access to information cause technological changes that influence new emerging educational paradigms, such as mobile learning. Thus, this study aims to clarify what is this learning model and how it works. For this, the literature of this area was reviewed, revisiting many concepts and verifying its evolution to reflect on possible ways, highlighting the main capabilities when working with mobile learning. Still, some suggestions are pointed for implementing mobile learning using one of the main current technological devices, the mobile hone, as a language learning tool.
