Abstract

In recent years, the need for interactive and dynamic learning platforms is rapidly growing in higher education. Language learners of today, who have easy access to the digital domain, are equipped for fast-paced technology-based learning and multitasking. For that reason, language teachers’ adaptations to online resources and incorporation of various forms of learning tools could be a new way of language education that is effective and powerful. In this regard, this paper shares a case study of blended learning for Korean with a mobile messaging application conducted in Hong Kong. With the examples of practical onsite and offsite activities for different levels of learners, it presents how to facilitate the mobile application with sample in-class activities designed for different communication skills. Further, the paper discusses the feasibility and limitations of blended learning in comparison with computer-assisted language learning.
