Using Apps in ELT
Why use Apps?• Saudi students like using mobiles all
the time• Some colleges ban their use for what
might be obvious reasons• But is this missing a trick?• Cashing in on their interest could be
one more way to motivate them

tiny with goo.gl which generates a QR code
• Students scan the code with a QR Code Reader app, which takes them straight to the task
