The students’ work in this subject will be evaluated by two complementary activities.

1. A synthesis and analysis of the literature provided here, i.e., the first part of the International Handbook on MALL, the chapters proposed for reading in weeks 1 to 7.
2. A summary of your experience of installing and experimenting with some mobile apps and tools for learning languages together with your reflections on their didactic possibilities in a formal or non-formal learning environment. You can search for such apps (only free ones!) on Google Play or The App Store depending on whether your mobile device (smartphone or tablet) is Android or iOS.

We do not like to specify a fixed number of pages for any assignment. However, since the question will arise, you should note that you are expected to write between 20 and 30 pages, including references and any appendices you feel are necessary.

The activities will be evaluated as follows:

(1) The relevance of the contents in the overall structure of the course, presented in such a way that although the length of the activities is not penalized, the most relevant elements that have been covered it in its different stages must be present.

(2) Critical reflection, in such a way that the continuous transcription of the opinions and perspectives of other authors will be penalized and, on the contrary, original attempts to reinterpret the aspects that define and characterize the subject will be positively valued.

(3) Creativity, in particular, unpublished but well-founded attempts to advance MALL in any of its manifestations.

(4) The observation of formal questions relevant to academic discourse: structure, use and reference of sources, correction in the expression, use of appropriate terminology, etc.

Firstly, a student has to have passed both activities (with a grade of 5 or more). Subsequently, the grades of both activities are combined as follows:

• Activity 1: 50% of the final grade
• Activity 2: 50% of the final grade
