Abstract :
We present in this paper a developing project attempting to integrate the strengths of mobile technology into paper-based reading activities to enhance learners´ reading comprehension. While conventional print text provides very limited information in fostering learners´ comprehension, integrating mobile technology with paper prints is a possible way to offer learners essential content-related resources to make sense of the text. We explored the possibility of this integration, and to verify the practicability of such a system in an English reading practice.
