Abstract

The evolution of mobile devices, web technologies, and learning paradigms has been shaping MALL practice. Today, informal learning has become more important than ever since the number of resources increased and the interaction styles became multidimensional. Computer-assisted language learning was converted into different forms, and mobile-assisted language learning is one of them. In its early history, the pedagogical dimension of MALL was criticized for being very behavioristic. However, the collaborative and creative nature of Web 2.0 tools contributed to methodological changes in the MALL tradition. Although there are many mobile applications designed to improve language proficiency, cloud-based tools and other mobile applications can feed the language skills informally if the designers benefit from big data.
