Mobile assisted language learning community and culture in French speaking Belgium: the teachers' perspective
This paper focuses on the perceptions and uses of mobile technologies by 118 Belgian teachers in foreign language teaching and learning in secondary education. The purpose of the study is to analyze the teachers' attitudes towards the use of mobile technologies inand outside the classroom via an online questionnaire. The preliminary findings presented in this paper establish that the concept of a 'Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) community' does not yet exist in our context as the use of mobile devices is still limited. Nevertheless, it can also be stated that teachers' attitudes and behavioral intention towards the use of tablets are slightly more positive than towards the use of smartphones, and that a vast majority of the teachers are interested in being trained to MALL.
