Presented by Mary Ann Lyman Hager & John Vitaglione
from the Language Acquisition Resource Center at SDSU.
Abstract:
Cellular technology offers high-speed-data-transfer affording users
multimedia access on their personal digital assistants and smart-phones.
LARC’s Mobile Assisted Language Learning applications enable language
learners to read glossed texts and play digital resources on their mobile
devices. Web Gloss is a dynamic glossing tool for adding” hotword” links
that play multimedia annotations on a mobile device. The Mobile Media
Archive permits users to select course modules from LARC’s web-based
Digital Media Archive via their cells and play them anywhere. This
presentation discusses "Everyware" and how teachers and learners can use
these free applications for accessing resources and contributing new
content.

Wikipedia’s definition of CALL:
Computer-assisted language learning
(CALL) is an approach to language
teaching and learning in which computer
technology is used as an aid to the
presentation, reinforcement and
assessment of material to be learned,
usually including a
“substantial interactive element.”
Wikipedia’s definition of MALL:
Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL)
is an approach to language learning that is
enhanced through use of a mobile device.
MALL is a subset of both Mobile Learning (mlearning) and CALL that involves the use of
the mobile technologies to support language
learning. It enables students to access
language resources, and to communicate
with their teachers and peers, at anytime,
anywhere.

MySpace Generation
They live online.,
they buy online,
they play online,
. . . . and they should learn online
“Let their webfeet run to build
communicative-learning social networks”
Beyond the Traditional Classroom
“We now accept the fact that learning is
a lifelong process of keeping abreast of
change. And the most pressing task is to
teach people how to learn.”
Peter Drucker
A paradigm shift to m-learning has occurred, whether we
like it or not, and “millenial learners” will embrace
technology to communicate. (Prensky, 2001)

New Media Challenges
The application of
mobile technologies to
learning has the potential to:
•Facilitate the active participation of learners in
the creation and delivery of content.
•Provide a powerful connection between a variety
of formal and informal learning contexts.
•Build a community of learners.

New Media Challenges
The application of
mobile technologies to
learning has reat potential, but . . .
•How do we co-opt these platforms to accommodate
learner styles and real learning needs?
•How do we make them global?
•How do we engage students in mobile-mediated
exchange?
•How do we incorporate CALL’s “substantial
interactive element” in MALL?
From CALL to MALL
LARC's research and development projects include
the transition/migration
from CALL to MALL.
Our objective is to transfer gloss applications and
content resources from the web
to mobile devices.
From GALT to MALT ?
Glossing Authentic Language Text (GALT)
was an original CALL application (produced by
Mary Ann Lyman Hager, Jim Davis and Bob Fischer) that
enabled faculty to upload language texts and create
hotword multimedia annotations.
From GALT to MALT ?
Web Gloss, affectionately called MALT (Mobile Access to
Language Text) is a follow-up to GALT that now enables
the transfer of glossed texts with digital annotations to
mobile devices.

CALICO 2009 Shared Concepts
Ped n’ Tech
(Nina Garrett, Keynote)
Pedagogical language education is not comprised of Generation My-Space’s
digital toy-chest.
Such new technologies must be integrate in a sound pedagogical and
instructional way.
Movin’ Mouths
(Lord, Session 4)
Getting people to talk has been on CALL’s plate for years, but now it is Web
2.0 capable.
Desirable
Interlocutor & Digital Vernacular (Thorne, Session)
Use Digital Web 2.0 Commons to engage and impassion user interaction and
information exchange so everyday communicative contexts become
tomorrow’s new literacies.

Kindled Conclusions
Social media tools and
portable device applications
used for Mobile Assisted
Language Learning (MALL)
must be guided by sound
pedagogy and instructional
design to meet studentcentered demands for
interactive collaborative
language learning.
