Abstract
TELL-OP is a Strategic Partnership that seeks to promote the take-up of innovative practices in European language learning including Data Driven Learning in order to contribute to unleash the potential behind already available web 2.0 services and to promote the personalised e-learning of languages in the contexts of higher & adult education, in particular, through mobile devices. This paper intends to present the users’ evaluation of the beta version of the TELL-OP mobile app which has been developed by the team. The app aims at giving learners the possibility to use their own language production to increase awareness and gain further understanding of how written language works and how richer expression can be achieved. Our data collection will consist in both survey and focus groups results from our partner universities. Preliminary analysis of the use of the TELL-OP app and ICT-driven methodology across the foreign languages in the study (viz. English, Spanish and German) will provide us with large-scale evidence on the use of learner language input for language learning purposes in addition to an overview of the benefits and the challenges of mobile language learning and personalized environments for adult and higher education scenarios.
