This study aimed to investigate the effect of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) as compared to paper-based instruction in the development of Iranian EFL elementary learners’ writing skills. The research purpose was threefold: 1) to investigate the effect of MALL on elementary learners’ writing skills; 2) to make a comparison between the obtained results of MALL and pencil-and-paper methods, and 3) to assess elementary students’ attitudes about learner involvement in collaborative learning (CL) settings through mobile phone (MPh) interactions. For this purpose, 30 Iranian EFL elementary students were selected and randomly assigned to two groups: one experimental and one control. While the experimental sample received mobile-based instructions on their writing assignments, the students in the placebo group were provided with only paper-based instruction. The findings revealed that the participants in both groups showed considerable improvement on the immediate and delayed writing post-tests; however, on average, those in the experimental MALL group were shown to have outperformed the students in the control group significantly. Not surprisingly, the learners in the treatment group had made fewer errors on the targeted grammatical structures like the use of adjectives, possessives and simple present tense compared to those in the control sample. Finally, the results of the post hoc interview reflected that MALL learners felt positively about the utility of mobile technology in writing classes. Essentially, the findings could be of great help to EFL teachers, EFL learners, and course designers.

Nowadays we are living in the fever of using mobile devices for everything. They changed our every day life radically. The infiltration of new possibilities follows usually the Gartner’s Hype cycle and that is how it finds its place in education. We all, who work in the field of informatics education have a d uty to make experiments how to use it up in in our teaching process. We review the present situation in public education and in vocational trainings as well and try to find the points where we can deliver new technologies into our practice.

‘Learning is much better with tablets’, today’s pupils and students often say. But, is it really true? Are the mobile devices and mobile technologies the mean performing didactic miracles? Do they really cause students enjoy learning and learn more with less effort? Even an optimist guesses it may not be like this. Do we (teachers) know how the mobile-assisted process of learning runs, what its advantages, weaknesses and limits are, whether learners really remember more, and/or enjoy the learning more? What is the role of the ‘novelty’ factor regarding the latest technologies? Do learners know how to exploit them for education purposes? And last but not least, what are teachers’ competences in this field? These are selected fields we are going to focus on.

M-learning is usually thought of as based on videos, digital materials, and high technology. Nonetheless, it is not a complete perspective of this new educational trend. Mobile devices with many functions can be an effective tool to support learning. Furthermore, learners nowadays, who were born in the 4.0 movement, are more familiar with mobile devices than notebooks. They spend much time on their mobile phones interacting on social media and playing mobile games. Hence, if educators can integrate those interests into traditional lesson plans, added value would appear for learners’ academic performance and learner autonomy. This paper proposes the idea of combining m-learning, gamification, and other factors influencing learning motivation into a mobile application to reinforce students’ learner autonomy. With a case study at Nguyen Tat Thanh University, we take a closer look at the effectiveness of the application on students’ language acquisition and a detailed description of how to best use the application along with lessons at schools. Using experimental methods with surveys and tests, this paper draws a bonding connection between students’ personal interest in the subject and their performance. The study provides thoughtful insights into utilizing m-learning and gamification to improve students’ learner autonomy and modernize language learning classrooms in this technological context.

Modern technologies are becoming an important part of education. Its broader application is however hindered not only by the fact that schools are insufficiently equipped with these technologies, but also by the fact that schools are increasingly struggling with its misuse. Examples of misuse include the unethical use of mobile telephones by pupils in classes, the release of manipulated teachers´ records onto the Internet, and the like. However, it is also important to note that schools do not yet offer many opportunities for the meaningful use of these up-to-date technologies. This research project deals with the design of a course on m-technologies for the further education of pedagogues. The output of this research project is an original course that provides a manual for the concrete application of mobile facilities in teaching and the opening of a creative space for teachers in individual schools to approach these problems.

This paper presents research results from the field of mobile-assisted instruction of English for specific purposes for technical and engineering students. The research was structured in three phases: (1) Questionnaire 1 was applied to detect what sources of information students use in higher education, what types of mobile devices they own, what purposes they use them for, (2) how the process of instruction, particularly students´ autonomous work supported by mobile devices ran, (3) students´ feedback was collected by Questionnaire 2 to evaluate the mobile-assisted learning and provide proposals for future exploitation of mobile devices in higher technical language education. The results show students are sufficiently equipped with mobile technologies and exploit them for various purposes, including education and ESP. At the end, examples of helpful mobile applications are presented.

Today’s children are growing up in a digital age that is far different from that of previous generations. Young children’s use of interactive screen media such as smartphones is increasing rapidly. A variety of mobile devices are all around, but they are still not accessible enough at schools, where the use of smartphones is usually forbidden.The aim of this research was to discover teachers’ opinion about using smartphones in class. The qualitative methodology was used in this study to analyse in depth the contextual factors concerning the use of smartphones during the education process. The analysis was based on data from 32 interviews with primary school teachers. The results of the study have shown that teachers do not incorporate smartphones into the education process, despite their positive attitude towards this kind of mobile devices.

Celem opracowania jest zwrócenie uwagi na możliwość wykorzystania technologii mobilnych we współczesnej edukacji. Warto podkreślić, że stosowanie technologii tylko i wyłącznie dla uatrakcyjnienia lekcji mija się z celem. Konieczna jest m.in. znajomość podstawowych teorii, które w sposób zoptymalizowany pozwolą stworzyć cyfrowy warsztat pracy, który będzie wykorzystywany przez nauczyciela w trakcie zajęć z uczniami do osiągania celów stawianych przed nimi.

The aim of the study is to draw attention to the possibility of using mobile technologies in modern education. It is worth emphasizing that the using of technology only to make a lesson attractive is pointless. It is necessary to knowledge of basic theories, which in an optimized way will allow to create a digital workroom that will be used by the teacher during classes with students to achieve the goals set before them.

In the first decade of the 21st century, we have been observing an intense process of "education internetisation", i.e. broader and broader penetration and use of Internet in various phases of the educational process. Education via Internet in Poland becomes more and more popular, and there is strong evidence that popularity of this form of education will systematically grow. In her article, the author presented a comparative analysis of online services connected with education in Poland and the European Union countries. She particularly focused on pointing out to Internet users’ involvement in their own process of online education, inter alia, on seeking by them for information on the education offer, independent communication and learning (participation in e-courses, use of the contents provided by other net users: Wikipedia, blogs, etc.).

W pierwszej dekadzie XXI wieku obserwujemy intensywny proces "internetyzacji edukacji", czyli coraz szersze wnikanie i stosowanie Internetu w różnorodnych fazach procesu kształcenia. Nauka przez Internet w Polsce staje się coraz bardziej popularna, i wszystko wskazuje, że popularność tej formy edukacji będzie systematycznie rosła. W artykule przedstawiono analizę porównawczą usług online związanych z edukacją w Polsce i krajach Unii Europejskiej. Skoncentrowano się zwłaszcza na ukazaniu zaangażowania internautów we własny proces kształcenia online, m.in. poszukiwaniu przez nich informacji na temat oferty edukacyjnej, samodzielnej komunikacji i uczeniu się (udział w e-kursach, wykorzystywanie treści dostarczanych przez innych użytkowników sieci: Wikipedii, blogów itp.).

В первой декаде XXI века наблюдается интенсивный процесс «интернетизации обучения», т.е. все более широкое проникновение и использование Интернета в разновидных фазах процесса обучения. Наука через Интернет в Польше становится все более популярной, и, судя по всему популярность этой формы обучения будет систематически повышаться. В статье представили сопоставительный анализ услуг онлайн, связанных с обучением в Польше и в странах Европейского Союза. В особенности сосредоточились на указании включения интернавтов в собственный процесс обучения онлайн, в частности, на поиске ими информации о предложении по обучению, самостоятельной коммуникации и учебе (участие в э-курсах, использование содержания, предоставляемого другими пользователями сети: Википедии, блогов и т.п.).
