Leveraging Ubiquitous Technology for Seamless Language Learning: From Move, Idioms! to MyCLOUD

摘要：

Paralleling to the paradigm shift in language learning theories from behaviorism to a communicative and authentic learning approach, the focus of MobileAssisted Language Learning (MALL) is swinging to design-oriented authentic or social mobile learning activities. In a related note, the ready-to-hand access of mobile devices creates the potential for facilitating seamless learning spaces, marked by continuity of the learning experience across different contexts. In this paper, we propose perspectives and approaches to address the need of establishing seamless language learning (SLL) practice. Building on existing research work on MALL, the emerging approach highlights a theory-rooted socio-techno-pedagogical framework to address the challenges of the young language learners. We will describe how the notion of SLL informs a research study entitled MyCLOUD (My Chinese Language ubiquitOUs learning Days). The proposed framework could contribute to current research by exploring ways in closing the loops in both the seamless learning and language learning perspectives through enacting the on-going learning process mediated by the ubiquitous technology.
