Since his students began using Quizlet, English teacher Tristan Thorne has noticed an improvement in their ability to learn and use new words. Quizlet is a learning App, a computer program you use on your mobile phone. It can help users build and test their knowledge of English words. Quizlet has word sets for millions of subjects. And, it is quickly becoming a useful mobile tool for language learners.
Thorne teachers at Columbia University in New York City. Thanks to learning Apps, Jeff Strack, another English teacher, has also notice improvement in his students’ ability to remember information. He teaches at Hostos Community College, also in New York. He and Thorne are part of a growing number of language educators adding mobile Apps to their classes.
Strack and Thorne seem to agree that the days when teachers would not permit the use of mobile phones are gone. When they use Apps, language learners communicate more differently than in a traditional classroom. Users act on or respond to something, instead of just listening to new information.
Thorne believes that Apps can help learners become more active in learning. For example, each week, his students are required to add vocabulary words into Quizlet for others to use. He says some Apps also make it easy for students to know their language strengths and weaknesses.
The biggest improvement Strack has seen in his students is that they are much more active inwhole-class or small-group discussions. “Apps let all students take part in the activity, whether it’s a game, quiz or practice activity.” he says.
Many existing learning Apps are designed for students of all ages and levels. Some are designed for group activities. Some support independent learning. Still some are good for homework. Thorne says he especially likes Quizlet and three other Apps: QR Codes, Socrative and Evernote.
1.What do Strack and Thorne do to improve their teaching?
A. They design learning Apps for their students.
B. They allow their students to use mobile Apps to study
C. They don’t allow their students to use Apps after class
D. They order their students not to use mobile phones in class
2.According to the text, Apps can help language learners __________.
A. save much time and money B. take an active part in learning
C. remember their weaknesses D. improve personal designing skills
3.What can we learn about the existing learning Apps?
A. They are designed for different uses. B. They are too few to choose from.
C. They are only designed for homework. D. They have three types in total.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A. Great changes in science and technology
B. The use of mobile phones will be gone
C. Ways to choose from different mobile Apps
D. Better language learning with mobile Apps
