Abstract
Abstract
Mobile learning is a recent phenomenon in the Bangladeshi education system. The ongoing English in Action project has been at the forefront of promoting the use of mobile technologies for English language training in Bangladesh, and has been one of the primary examples to demonstrate the potential of mobile devices in the classroom, and teacher professional support. This paper will discuss the challenges that have arisen in the promotion of mobile learning in Bangladesh, as well as the successes as highlighted by the English in Action project. Moreover, it will offer a brief glimpse into the work of the project and its mechanism for spreading mobile learning in typical Bangladeshi context.
