The document discusses the effectiveness of using smartphones to improve receptive skills in English among high school students in Battambang, Cambodia. It presents research on how smartphones can help with reading, listening, vocabulary learning, and language learning independently. A study was conducted among 75 students through questionnaires to understand their smartphone usage and how it impacts English skills. Most students reported using smartphones 30-60 minutes daily for English, and found them very helpful for language learning.
These studies examined the effectiveness of different modes of presenting vocabulary words in multimedia programs for second language learning. Some key findings were that presenting words with pictures led to better recall than text alone, and videos were more effective than pictures. However, one study found that for children, a word-only presentation led to better retention than words paired with pictures due to higher cognitive load. Overall, the studies provide guidance for developing multimedia programs to accommodate different learning styles and abilities.

The document discusses open educational mobile application development and implementation for teaching English courses. It notes that technology can help achieve educational goals and create low-anxiety learning environments. Mobile devices are widely available and can be an alternative to computers for language learning through mobile assisted language learning (MALL) apps. A survey found that many English teachers already use mobile internet and resources for teaching, and have confidence in mobile learning's future role in language education, though more appropriate content is needed.
Mobile phones are nearly universally owned by students and can be used for educational purposes if properly implemented in classrooms. While phones may be distracting if misused, they offer benefits like increased access to educational resources, the ability to easily share information and complete assignments digitally. However, successful integration requires addressing challenges such as ensuring phones do not interrupt classes or become overused. The article also describes several educational apps that could be used on phones to support language learning.
The document discusses the debate around allowing mobile phones in schools. While most schools currently ban phones due to concerns like distraction, loss, and bullying, the document argues phones could potentially be used for learning if certain risks are mitigated. It provides examples of how phones could be used cost-effectively for activities like polls, recordings, research, and creative projects. Some schools have started experimenting with structured programs that utilize phones for engaging students in new ways.
