Confronting the Challenges of MALL: Distraction, Cheating, and Teacher Readiness Mobile technologies appear to be gaining in popularity regarding foreign language instruction they have recently proliferated in academic environments. Mlearning opens up new possibilities and opportunities for both teachers and students, and it is inevitable that methodological approaches to pedagogy and ways of teaching foreign languages are accordingly adjusted and reevaluated. Despite the numerous significant advantages mobile technologies offer, scholars and educators have to take into consideration some barriers and limitations in this respect, and respond to both existing and future challenges. Moreover, the studies on MALL (mobileassisted language learning) seem to be predominantly focused on benefits of specific technological advances when the advantages of MALL are discussed. This article attempts to present a critical review of the literature which deals with MALL as further research and exploration in this area is necessary, especially with regard to challenges and barriers language teachers face when mtechnologies are employed. Three major drawbacks related to using mobile technologies in teaching are predominantly discussed, namely learner distraction, cheating, and teacher perception and readiness. Moreover, proposing feasible solutions to the challenges and barriers is also discussed in the article.

Imminent Prospects of Mobile Mediated Learning Interaction in Traditional Classroom: A Survey 201319 Phenomenal growth in mobile technology with affordability has created a pervasive device extension associated with students. This is blended with both desired and distracting components. These significant ramifications of rise in mobile device usage motivates to focus the study to evaluate the ongoing research activity pertinent to the pedagogical inclusion of mobile devices in classroom interaction. This study represents the review of refereed articles about mobile device utility in classroom interaction during the year 201319. The research articles selected for assessment confined in the areas of interaction design, the usefulness of mobile devices in the traditional education system, adaptive webbased educational systems and potential distraction of the devices. Most of the works tried to emphasis the positive response about the contextdependent use of mobile devicesu0027 integration in the classroom. On the contrary significant claims on the interference of portable devices and causal effects have also been highlighted by many researchers. The quantitative and qualitative findings of the survey help in identifying the outright spaces and regulated use of mobile devices in face to face classroom interaction. This will also help in designing active research informative interaction with an imminent effect to enhance device mediated classroom learning.
