Abstract

‘EAP Kingdom’ is a mobile learning app designed for students of English for Academic English I and II at the Education University of Hong Kong. Taking advantage of the affordances of ubiquitous technologies and gamification elements, the app has been able to encourage students to learn outside class time in engaging and enjoyable ways. In this sharing session, the main features of the app and its design rationale will be introduced. Perceptions of students and instructors will also be shared to explore potential benefits and reveal issues encountered. Through this sharing session, it is hoped that insights gained from developing this app can help to guide future design and implementation of similar learning apps.
