This document summarizes research on using mobile phones for English vocabulary learning through text messages. Several studies have found that sending vocabulary words, quizzes, or instructional materials via text message can help with learning. However, most such studies have been conducted in developed areas where internet access is more available. The document calls for more research in developing countries, where internet data plans may be too expensive but text messaging is widely used. It suggests exploring the effectiveness and affordability of using mobile phone texting for English vocabulary learning in resource-constrained environments.

Mobile learning anytime, anywhere: What are our students doing?Helen Farley
Recent developments in mobile technologies have provided unique opportunities for learning and teaching. This paper reports on recent research undertaken at a regional Australian university in order to understand how higher education students are using mobile devices to support their learning. A survey instrument was developed and deployed and the data collected analysed quantitatively. Upon analysis, these data demonstrate that students are predominantly using laptop computers to support their learning, but their use of smart phones and tablets are also used for a number of specific learning activities. Further analysis indicates that in spite of the limitations in the formal university infrastructure, many students would like to use their mobile devices for formal
learning as well as informal learning.

The use of computer technology in efl classroom pros and cons (1) (1)ouissaless
* Teaching English as a foreign language field has encountered a great development in the past couple of years. Having the ability and tools to integrate computer technology devices inside the classroom had affected and deeply influenced learners' SLA. Learners could benefit from the technological tools to facilitate their second language acquisition through video games, videos, online learning platforms and websites that are dedicated to providing learners with a joyful and fruitful experience of second language acquisition.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Cell phone use in language learning
Mobile devices are changing the way we learn with technology, providing
potential advantages that can be applied to the English language teaching
field (Kukulsma-Hulme & Shield, 2008)
The most popular mobile devices, cell phones, have also been the most
used in studies on mobile learning for English as a foreign or second
language (Cui & Wang, 2008; Meurant, 2007; Cavus & Ibrahim, 2007)
3. 3
Studies using short message service (sms) for
vocabulary learning
Several studies have been conducted using short message service (sms) in
English language vocabulary learning:
Instructional material (Thornthon & Houser, 2005; Saran, Kursat & Seferoglu,
2008)
Short quizzes for assessment (Cooney & Keogs, 2007)
Vocabulary words (Lu, 2008; Cavus & Ibrahim, 2009)
4. 4
Some facts:
Studies mainly conducted in East Asia, Europe, or Africa
Activities require access to internet or the use of specific software, representing a
disadvantage for people in some developing countries
Mobile broadband subscriptions:
11% in Latin America and the Caribbean
89% in North America (ITU, 2009)
88% of cell phone owners have no internet data plan (NewLink Group Company,
2010)
Costs of data plans are not affordable: 35% do not have internet in their cell phones
due to the high costs
5. Free and inexpensive teacher 5
resources:
Group-messaging websites
SMS Quiz Maker
These can be found online, but functionality and availability
varies depending on the country.
7. 7
Burning questions…good for further research
Has similar research been conducted with cell phones, where participants are
not required to have internet access?
Is the use of cell phones’ sms feature effective for English vocabulary learning?
What are the advantages or disadvantages in using cell phones as teaching tools
in public high school classrooms in a developing country like the DR?
What are the attitudes of teachers and students in a low SES environment
toward the use of cell phones as teaching tools for English language learning?
What other factors should be considered for potential studies?
8. 8
Conclusion
It is necessary to include English language learners in Latin American
countries in future studies using cell phones, adapting their
implementation to the resources available.
Future research needs to take into account the affordability and
efficiency of technological teaching resources and the possibilities
teachers have to incorporate mobile learning activities into their
lesson plans.
