Instructors as MALL Engineers: Adapting, Modifying, and Creating Mobile Materials for Listening Practice
Barcomb, Mike; Grimshaw, Jennica; Cardoso, Walcir
Research-publishing.net, Paper presented at the EUROCALL 2018 Conference (26th, Jyväskylä, Finland, 2018)
For teachers to utilize Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) resources, they must consider how to balance implementation with their available resources. As it is no longer the case that programming is required to create one's own MALL resources, teachers could benefit from a framework that helps them to match their resources and pedagogical goals with user-friendly and customizable MALL materials. To this end, this paper serves as a proposal for a framework that helps teachers to match their available resources with three levels of customizable MALL materials for listening practice: adaptation, modification, and creation. The possibilities for teacher customized MALL materials at each level will be discussed. [For the complete volume of short papers, see ED590612.]
