 Introduction  Research methodology  The study  Findings  Discussion  Conclusion

 Cellular phone technology allows ◦ Users to take pictures ◦ Write notes ◦ Make voice recordings ◦ Short videos ◦ Listen to music ◦ Use bilingual dictionaries ◦ Language study software ◦ Play games…etc

 Research about mobile assisted language learning is extensive and ranges from studies of ◦ Tablet PC ◦ Pdas ◦ Cell phones

 Study investigation of students’ use of their cell phone video recording feature to produce 30 seconds videos on a weekly basis ◦ Interviews ◦ Observations ◦ Video samples

 The majority of students have had no exposure to authentic communicative experiences ◦ Had seven years of text-based english cognizance ◦ 19 and 20 years old ◦ On a weekly basis ◦ They ed their best performance to the teacher’s yahoo! account for storage and analysis

 Nine Japanese EFL second year undergraduate engineering students participated in a 14 week communicative English course ◦ cell phone video performances ◦ process reports ◦ surveys ◦ Interviews understand whether or not the task was conducive to learning

 SPSS for data analysis ◦ Words spoken per second ◦ Range of lexical items selected ◦ Weekly cell phone video production process report ◦ Post-test survey were organized
