  • Abstract
    Mobile technologies may play a pivotal role in language learning in situations where multilingualism may be a key factor in personal and societal development. We review some Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) studies and show that when such technologies take into account cognitive constraints and rely on a coherent pedagogy model they foster the learning process and allow to frame it in the socio-cultural environment of the learner.
