Abstract

The continuous development of wireless and mobile technologies has allowed the creation of an additional platform for supporting learning, one that can be embedded in the same physical space in which the learning is taking place. This paper describes a computer supported ubiquitous learning environment for language learning, called LOCH (Language learning Outside the Classroom with Handhelds). In the environment, the teacher assigns field activities to the students, who go around the town to fulfill them and share their individual experiences. The main aim of this project, called One Day Trip with PDA, was to integrate the knowledge acquired in the classroom and the real needs of the students in their daily life.

這篇主要是利用手持裝置(PDA)、GPS和PHS來幫助在日本的國外學生學習日語。教師會給予學生任務，學生則利用行動裝置在城市中到處收集資料以完成任務。這計畫的目的是要結合教室中習得的知識到日常生活中。


電腦輔助行動學習(CSML)提倡不同的學習理論，如，Hands-on or minds-on learning；situated and authentic learning，強調親身經驗的重要性。相關學者也指出當語言情境化時，會結合知識背景，理解語言思考模式，然後開口說。
