ABSTRACT
Always online – this is not only applicable to digital natives but also to digital immigrants. The digitisation of everyday life has become an integral and natural part of our society. By using mobile devices, there is almost unlimited availability of information and communication services. The corresponding apps – used via smartphones, tablets, or netbooks – are an indispensable part of our students’ as well as our own lives. Therefore, they provide the opportunity to become a key tool in learning processes and enhance foreign-language skills. The following contribution depicts the added educational value of these media and shows how these tools can enrich foreign-language teaching and learning. Furthermore, it aims to give an overview of the range of edu apps and show blended learning scenarios by using mobile devices in EFL (English as a Foreign-Language) teaching.
