Aims and Objectives
Language learning comes to be one of the important application
domains of mobile learning. Recent developments in mobile and ubiquitous
technologi
es provide new learning environments for language learning, which
goes far beyond the traditional learning paradigms, i.e., classroom teaching
andtraining in companies.
Research and development projects on Mobile CALL (Computer Assisted
Language Learning) have appeared, concerning studies on innovative ways of
language learning using mobile devices, like learning vocabulary using
mobile phone, mobile learning applications for speech/audio language
training.
In addition, some commercial products have appeared, as well as
many podcast contents for second language learning.
The International Journal of Mobile Learning and Organization (IJMLO)
is therefore publishing a special issue on =93Mobile and Ubiquitous
Technologies for Language Learning=94, which will be a timely issue for both
academics, practitioners and instructional designers who are interested
in the design and development of effective language learning environments.=20
This special issue intends to discuss the latest mobile and
ubiquitous language-learning (MULL) applications and technologies for language
learning, an area of research that is increasingly seeing new developments
and techniques in both the academic and industrial domains.=20
The purpose of the special issue is to disseminate studies about how
we meet the challenges of this technology, the practical experiences of
the design of mobile and ubiquitous language-learning environments, the
current development systems in either academia or industry, as well as the
current economic and social context of mobile and ubiquitous learning
development and empirical research into contemporary mobile learning
environments.
Subject Coverage
This special issue aims at publishing a selection of papers
addressing the topics indicated below, but is not limited to them. The following
topics are also equally welcome:
* Innovative mobile and ubiquitous language learning (MULL)
applications.
* Learner modeling for MULL.
* Learning objects metadata for MULL.
* New technologies that directly support MULL systems (devices,
computational models, networks, tools, protocols, etc.).
* Practical studies of MULL in K12 schools, universities,
companies, museums and organizations.
* Human-Computer Interaction issues in MULL environments.
* Mobile games and toys for language learning.
* The role of Wikis, blogs, podcasts, messaging, and other on-
line tools and Web 2.0 components in MULL systems.
* Personalization and intelligent support for learner
interaction and collaborative language learning with mobile devices.
* Pedagogical models and theories for MULL.
* Evaluation and assessment methodologies for MULL.
* Privacy and security issues in MULL.
* The role of context-aware and location based services for
MULL.o
The future of M-learning

Submission. You will normally receive an acknowledgement within a few
days. Please provide email addresses for all authors.
Review Process
Each paper submitted to Inderscience Enterprises Limited is subject
to the following review procedures:
1. It is reviewed by the guest editors for general suitability
for this publication.
2. If it is judged suitable, two reviewers are selected and a
double-blind review process takes place.
* Based on the recommendations of the reviewers, the guest
editors then decide whether the particular article should be accepted as it is,
revised or rejected.
As an alternative to using the website for submission, authors may e-
mail their manuscripts as a Word document to:
