Mobile education, also called m-learning, is perceived by some as a kind of e-learning, yet it can be much more than that. By using smartphones in the class, and allowing – or even encouraging – my students to do the same, I bring some real context to the artificial environment of a classroom. No longer a forbidden fruit, smartphones can be useful, entertaining and... motivating!

There's always one part of testing English that you hate. Some hate writing, others listening (aye, that would be me), but somehow it's speaking that seems to cause lots of worries. To tell you the truth, I haven't had problems with speaking ever since I came up with some simple steps. I can't claim you'll excel at speaking tests after following my ideas, but I do encourage you to give them a go - maybe they'll work out for you just as they did for me!

I want to present my top 6 apps that will help students practise at home and prepare for the test - links will direct you to Google Play Store where you'll be able to download the app. You may also find most of them in the Apple Store as well.
