“…In this research, MALLO applications are designed and developed for learners to gain access to websites or other applications separated by skill, which are chosen by teachers or experts to make sure they are suitable for any language anywhere at any time. The necessity of the accessibility of English language concurs with studies of Pérez-Paredes et al (2018); Rodríguez (2018) who utilized resources from outside contexts and integrated them in the applications in order to promote learning, using the Open Educational Resources (OERs). Besides, this component is in accordance with the results of the use of mobile networks in unofficial learning for different learners and the participation in cognitive interactions, meta-cognition, and affective factors are positive (Peng et al, 2022).…”

One of the greatest advantages of mobile language learning is its ease of access, especially to learners in the 21st century who have the option of selecting any learning content that matches their preferences or language development goals, anywhere and at any time. Mobile-assisted language learning or MALL takes learning beyond the classroom, which imposes spatial and temporal constraints. This study aims to investigate components of language learning with a mobile-assisted design, and develop and evaluate a mobile-assisted English language learning and teaching innovation, namely Mobile-Assisted Language Learning in Open Resources Environment or MALLO for high-school English as a foreign language (EFL) students. MALLO is a research-based application which employs Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) in its development to identify significant components. The participants in this study consist of two sample groups: 1,500 high school students from six regions of Thailand to explore the components; and 300 students to examine MALLO users’ satisfaction Both were selected via the stratified sampling method. After that, nine experts evaluated MALLO in terms of its components, its support for English language learning, its functions, and its application for English language learning. The results indicate that MALLO is comprised of four important components: mobile English learning resources, the use of MALL, mobile technology, and portal collective tools. The results also show the satisfaction of learners as users of the MALLO application at high levels with an average of 4.05 to 4.15. In the final stage, the MALLO application was evaluated by nine experts and the results were also in the range of high or very high levels across all aspects, with an average rating of 4.444.72.

“…En este sentido, puede ser interesante mantener una idea clara acerca de las diferencias entre innovación tecnológica (que depende fundamentalmente de los procesos de I+D+i de la industria tecnológica), la innovación educativa (que depende de la investigación educativa y de la experimentación realizada por investigadores y docentes) y la innovación en la integración de la tecnología en contextos educativos y de aprendizaje de lenguas (Rodríguez, 2018). Esta última depende tanto de las decisiones de política educativa (inversión, diseño curricular, organización escolar, gestión de los recursos humanos, etc.)…”

En plena era de revolución tecnológica, las tecnologías y su buen uso y consumo así como la capacidad de comunicarse en una o varias segundas lenguas contribuyen a la conexión de los habitantes de este mundo globalizado; nuestros espacios comunicativos se han ampliado exponencialmente y requieren por ello una formación adecuada. En este artículo se analiza la relación entre tecnología y enseñanza y aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras desde una perspectiva diacrónica y crítica. Se contempla, para ello, la aparición de distintas tecnologías en el ámbito de la enseñanza y aprendizaje de lenguas así como el análisis de su efectividad en el proceso de aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras, constatándose diversos ciclos de innovación tecnológica, entusiasmo en relación con sus posibilidades, escasez de evidencias de resultados y llamada a la precaución ante el impacto de la tecnología en sí. Como conclusión, se plantea un estado de alerta positiva pero precavida ante la aparición constante de tecnologías que generan nuevas oportunidades de aprendizaje memorable.

The purpose of this study is to reveal the importance of technology in education and to explore the professional competencies of Turkish language and literature teachers on the basis of usage and management of technology skills. In the quantitative dimension of this study, the significant difference between the opinions of Turkish language and literature teachers on the necessity of technology and their personal characteristics were examined. The qualitative dimension, on the other hand, investigated whether school managers emphasised technology usage and management skills in their expectations of Turkish language and literature teachers. The problem sentence of the study is therefore "what are the professional competencies of Turkish and literature teachers on the basis of usage and management of technology skills?" This study examines both teachers (n=99) and school managers (n=26) who worked at the secondary education level in Cyprus during the 2017-2018 academic year. A questionnaire was prepared by the researchers with the purpose of determining the technology usage status of teachers and the extent to which they believe that using technology is necessary. A semi-structured interview form was prepared in order to determine the expectations of school managers from Turkish language and literature teachers and their professional competencies. In order to be able to analyse quantitative data in the study, frequencies and percentages were used, which are descriptive statistics. Additionally, the chi-square test was applied in order to determine whether there were any differences in the answers given by teachers according to the independent variables. Content analysis was conducted in order to analyse the qualitative data. Based on the findings of the study, it can be said that teachers must accept the reality that even though they agree that technology is necessary, this opinion in fact has no value as technology is still not used. The expectations of school managers from language and literature teachers were evaluated and only a limited number of managers (only 1 student out of 26) emphasised that teachers should be competent in using technology.
