| description | English in Action (EIA) is an ongoing teacher education project which places
mobile technology at the centre of its action. Most of the studies carried out
focused on the changes EIA brought in teachers’ classroom actions. Along with
this, they also explored the classroom to observe whether the input given during
training program is implemented in real life. No study has been conducted that
compares and contrasts the components of mobile learning in general and the
components EIA is using. This study, particularly, drew a comparative analysis
between the mobile learning and EIA initiated mobile learning to reveal the extent
it matched or mismatched to the components of mobile learning. It also scrutinized
teachers’ behavior in the classroom after participating in EIA. It also penetrated to
find the contents to be reviewed. Qualitative method was used to conduct this
study. The result revealed that the components of EIA match to the mobile learning
ones to the extent that EIA entails those suiting the context. Few elements were
seemed absent as they are less suitable in such context. Besides, teachers were
found bringing changes in their classrooms. The introduction of action research
and reflective teaching were suggested to add to EIA’s program. |
