Utility of Mobile Phones in English Classes

K. Devadoss, Ph.D.

Introduction

The hand-held mobile-phone is in common use today. This instrument can help multiple-tasking in the language classes. The tool can help develop effective Listening, Reading and Speaking skills in a language class room.

Despite stringent rules against the use of cell phones in the classroom and on campus, students somehow bring the instrument into the classroom. So it may be better to exploit the students’ interest (in bringing the mobile phones to class) as the main tool for language teaching and learning.

Generally, students would like to comprehend a subject in their own convenient pace of time. In fact, some would want the learning to be pursued at a minimal cost, besides being directly applicable to their own environmental needs. It is actually here the utility of mobile technology is badly felt. (Anaraki, F, 2009)
