Mobile Learning is a new paradigm of Technology-enhanced Learning in full alignment with the key objectives of the 21st Century Education and Training. Wireless and Mobile Devices, widely available nowadays, are exploited to allow anyone to access and interact with digital and learning resources from anywhere, at anytime and with a variety of devices. On the other hand, Language Learning is a top priority area of the new framework for European cooperation in education and training, recently adopted by the Council of Education Ministers of the European Union and can it benefit the most from these developments. In this context, the training course “Exploiting Mobile and Wireless Technologies for Technology-Enhanced Lifelong Language Learning” aims to develop language learning teachers’ and trainers’ skills in developing educational resources and lessons suitable for mobile delivery and then, to get familiar with specific services and tools for searching and sharing language learning resources and lessons from web-based educational repositories, as well as delivering them through PDAs and Smartphones Devices. The training course is anticipated to facilitate European Language Learning Teachers and Trainers in using PDAs and Smartphones Devices for the delivery of language learning lessons to their students and learners, so as to support and improve their day-to-day teaching activities.
