Palabras clave: MALL (aprendizaje de idiomas asistido por el celular), tecnologías móviles, teléfonos inteligentes, estudiantes de inglés como lengua extranjera, educación superior

Resumen

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar una revisión de la literatura relacionada con el MALL (el aprendizaje de idiomas asistido por el teléfono) y el uso de los teléfonos inteligentes para el aprendizaje de idiomas en el ámbito de la educación superior. MALL ofrece numerosas ventajas considerables, pero también algunos inconvenientes. Por otra parte, a pesar de que los teléfonos inteligentes pueden considerarse ayudas útiles para el aprendizaje de idiomas, varios estudios indican que el uso de los teléfonos inteligentes no siempre estimula la enseñanza y el aprendizaje, ya que existen algunas limitaciones que hay que tener en cuenta. Por último, los propios maestros desempeñan un papel importante en la integración del MALL en el proceso de enseñanza y deberían recibir una formación adecuada y eficaz.
