概要 | A longitudinal study conducted from April 2013 to January 2014 sought
to ascertain whether a blended learning (BL) environment incorporating m-learning could help Japanese undergraduates improve their English language skills. In this paper, various emerging technologies (including Globalvoice English, ATR CALL Brix, the mobile learning-oriented TOEIC Practice Kit, Course Power), as well as online materials (MOOCs, TED Talks, top 10 most popular educational web tools) will be demonstrated. The study focuses on examining the use of emerging e-learning and m-learning technologies and activities, ranging from speech recognition to web-based learning both in and out of the classroom, in order to determine their effectiveness in improving the English proficiency of non-native learners. Pre- and post-training TOEIC scores revealed that the BL activities had a positive effect on the students’ overall English proficiency. |
