Abstract
The last decade, mobile devices, defined as “any device that is small, autonomous and unobtrusive enough to accompany us in every moment” (Trifonova et al. 2004:3) are a familiar part of most teachers and students’ lives and their integration into learning and teaching is constantly increasing. In this contribution we concentrate on creating learning materials for mobile devices in order to suit the current ‘On Demand Generation’ that wants “anything, anywhere at anytime” (Caudron 2011: 25.). In order to explore the benefits of mobile learning away from the traditional classroom, we designed an app named VISP (VIdeos for SPeaking), which is available in Android operating systems. VISP consists of using audio description (AD) techniques to practice oral language skills. We present here the methodological steps followed in the design of VISP, as well as the first qualitative data obtained, derived from applying it to two Spanish students of English as a foreign language (EFL).
