Abstract:	In this chapter, we describe a project on Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) for adult second language learners. The project has designed a mobile learning environment that supports meaningful, collaborative production, and sharing of learner-generated authentic content. The project is aimed at linking formal and informal, that is, classroom versus everyday and workplace, learning. The project is in a pilot phase and the chapter reports the preliminary findings, which indicate a high level of learner ownership, engagement, and motivation.
