Provide and critique three or four literature-based definitions of Computer and Mobile
Assisted Language Learning and Mobile Assisted Language Use [CALL (Computer assisted
language learning)/MALL (mobile assisted language learning) and MALU (mobile assisted
language use)]. Critically discuss, with practice-based examples, the extent to which you
agree or disagree with the argument that MALU is a more appropriate acronym for
describing and investigating practice. (This section should account for approximately 3000
words).
This assignment gives you an opportunity to display;

and other mobile devices in English language teaching
• Your ability to apply theory to practice, by reference to actual examples of what is done in
the classroom
• Your ability to organise and express your arguments in academically acceptable ways
