Using mobile phones in English education in Japan
Open accessAbstract
Abstract We present three studies in mobile learning. First, we polled 333 Japanese university students regarding their use of mobile devices. One hundred percent reported owning a mobile phone. Ninety‐nine percent send e‐mail on their mobile phones, exchanging some 200 e‐mail messages each week. Sixty‐six percent e‐mail peers about classes; 44% e‐mail for studying. In contrast, only 43% e‐mail on PCs, exchanging an average of only two messages per week. Only 20% had used a personal digital assistant. Second, we e‐mailed 100‐word English vocabulary lessons at timed intervals to the mobile phones of 44 Japanese university students, hoping to promote regular study. Compared with students urged to regularly study identical materials on paper or Web, students receiving mobile e‐mail learned more (P<0.05). Seventy‐one percent of the subjects preferred receiving these lessons on mobile phones rather than PCs. Ninety‐three percent felt this a valuable teaching method. Third, we created a Web site explaining English idioms. Student‐produced animation shows each idiom's literal meaning; a video shows the idiomatic meaning. Textual materials include an explanation, script, and quiz. Thirty‐one Japanese college sophomores evaluated the site using video‐capable mobile phones, finding few technical difficulties, and rating highly its educational effectiveness.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
