“…Otherwise, partners would not understand sentences and finish the game. It was suggested that EFL learners try to speak to others and make their speech and interaction patterns meaningful and understandable [3], [4], [8]; such process can aid language comprehension and promote its acquisition. Furthermore, according to the communicative language Facilitating Listening and Speaking with Game-Based …teaching, students need to focus not only on the structure and forms of the language, but also on the function and purposes that the language serves in different communicative settings [7], [8].…”

“…Such learning process was based on situational language teaching method [7]. Related literature suggested that familiar context can help learners reflect on what they learnt as they are able to contact that context frequently [4], [5], [6]. Moreover, when students acquire knowledge in the contextual scenarios, they are more inclined to learn and, in turn, apply that knowledge to solve daily life problems.…”

Abstract. This study proposed game-based learning activities in situational context to facilitate listening and speaking. To measure the feasibility of learning activities, this study conducted one experiment in which students participated at learning activities by using traditional method (control) and mobile application (experimental). Results revealed that experimental students outperformed control students in the speaking post-test while there was insignificant difference in the listening post-test. Furthermore, most students had positive perceptions toward game-based learning activities supported by mobile application. This paper discusses research findings and implications along with conclusions and several suggestions for future development and research.

Abstract-Trend towards English language learning has been increased because it is considered as Lingua franca i.e. language of communication for all. However students of Pakistan are behind in this pace, especially rural elementary students. In rural areas there is crucial need to get assistance in their own curriculum after school because mostly they do not find anyone to help at home. M-Learning (Mobile Learning) assists learning anywhere and anytime. This ubiquitous power of M-Learning helps in after school programs and education in rural areas. The aim of this study is to develop M-Learning application for improvement of English listening comprehension in rural primary school students. This study developed English learning application based on Listening Comprehension, which embeds English curriculum of Sindh Textbook board for grade 1, 2 and 3. This study took the form of an after-school program in a village in Pakistan. There were 45 students of grade 3 from rural primary school of Pakistan selected as participants. Since developed application is based on recognition and memorization of information, so that knowledge and comprehension level of cognitive domain from Bloom's taxonomy were selected for choosing the type of evaluation questions. On the basis of those question types, EGRA (Early Grade Reading Assessment) test is used for evaluation. This test was conducted on two experimental groups and one control group and the results of the groups were compared to one another. The results confirm that English Mlearning applications can become helpful tool for students who live in rural areas where they face problems in learning of their English curriculum, since their relatives are not capable to teach them as accordingly.

“…However, under the current situation, due to various reasons, most college English teachers still lack the awareness of collating network resources and information, fail to conduct sufficient monitoring and management on students' English learning status, and are inexperienced in network-based teaching, and as a result, the actual teaching effects are not good. In addition, some teachers do not know students' learning activities well and fail to update their own knowledge bases, so it is necessary to improve their performance in these areas [3][4]. Many college English teachers are not clear about their roles in the network-based teaching mode, which has affected their teaching effects; therefore, they need to change their traditional views, constantly improve their network operation skills, and update their knowledge bases so as to meet the new teaching requirements and properly redefine their roles in teaching.…”

Abstract-Through interviews and induction, this paper attempts to discuss the importance of college English teaching methods in the teaching process under the network context and point out issues like teachers' inadequate awareness and abilities of collecting network resources and information and insufficient background monitoring on students' study activities. Based on this, this paper proposes that college English teachers should free their minds, change their views and improve their network operation skills to know more about students' study activities and update their knowledge bases to improve their own quality so as to redefine their roles under the network context. Keywords-network context; college English teaching; teachers' roles; teaching method changes IntroductionWith the rapid development of world economic integration, the demand for English communication is increasing in various sectors. In order to facilitate English learning many advanced technologies and tools have been applied, such as network computer tools. At present, network has been widely applied in college English teaching, and has attracted the attention of many scholars. This paper studies the changes of college English teaching methods and the redefinition of teachers' roles under the network context and proposes suggestions based on the advantages and disadvantages of network [1]. Under the network-based teaching model, college English teachers should redefine their roles, and make full use of computer and network tools to improve their teaching effect so as to lay a good foundation for the educational reform.In the research, by consulting a lot of literature, doing interviews and making summaries and induction, this paper analyzes the functions that college English teachers should exert under this teaching context, discusses the roles they can play, such as the designer of network-based teaching activities, evaluator of learning results and collector of learning information, and suggests that teachers should actively play these functions and roles to improve their English teaching effects [2]. However, under the current situation, due to various reasons, most college English teachers still iJET
