An adaptive mobile learning system for learning a new language based on learner’s abilities

The rapid development of wireless infrastructure and wide use of mobile devices in our daily life has a major impact on our way of learning using computing technology. Particularly, learning a new language is a challenging concept for researcher. Furthermore, adaptive services is nowadays an important research topic in the field of web-based and mobile learning systems as there are no fixed learning path which are appropriate for all learners. However, most studies in this field have only focus on learning style and habits of learners. Far too little attention has been paid on the ability of learner. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to propose a new adaptive mobile learning model for learning new languages based on ability of learner. Furthermore, an ontology-based knowledge modelling technique is proposed to classify language learning materials and describe user profile in order to provide adaptive learning environment.
