Language learning is no longer limited to a certain class. Students could learn the language at any time and any place. For example, students can memorize vocabulary while waiting for the bus to arrive, they can finish homework online before practice begins, and they can even review what they learned today before bed by simply taking out their phone. Mobile-assisted language learning allows students to save the “sliver of time” to learn a foreign language, instead of only studying it in class during a certain time of the day. Furthermore, by using mobile-assisted language learning, speaking and listening become more accessible to students. In a traditional classroom, language learning focuses more on vocabulary and grammar, which means students may get a lot of practice in reading and writing, but are not proactive enough in listening and speaking. However, in the real world, speaking and listening are much more important than reading and writing, because people need to use language to communicate with each other. With mobile-assisted language learning, it would be easy to practice speaking and listening even if there wasn't a teacher around. Since most mobile devices are Internet-based, there are numerous listening and speaking resources available online to help students experience the authentic language environment. These might include news radio, movies, music, chat rooms, and language education websites. Mobile devices provide students with a more interactive environment to practice their language skills. However, in traditional foreign language lessons, the teacher cannot make sure to help every student learn to speak and listen, since these skills require one-on-one communication, and it is almost impossible for teachers to actually talk to every student during all lessons. lessons.
