  My first three entries for this research dealt with the classroom pedagogy as it related to teaching. The forth focused on technology used in a university setting for writing. For this last article I wanted to I search EFL learners, classroom instruction and reading. The point being to cover reading, writing, teaching and the technology that is influencing them all for the EFL learner's. It is a big topic to cover for this and would be fitting to assume in a masters thesis on TESOL or EFL classroom innovation. And that may be the outcrop of such.
  The study looked at two prevailing tools used in the classroom today, however I have not found much information published in recents years. The two are CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) and MALL (mobile assisted language learning). MALL has the capability of providing EFL learners with the same opportunities for independent and targeted reading practice and immediate corrective feedback as CALL; including, portability, social interactivity, context sensitivity, connectivity, individuality, cost, and immediacy. With a MALL device in the hands of the more rural EFL learners I see a greater advantage to reaching more non-tradition students.
