Use of Cell phones in Classroom Teaching: Boon or Bane

Abstract

There is always a debate amongst educationists about students being allowed to bring cell phones in classrooms. But recent studies and my own exposure to Oxford make me think about this issue. ELT also need a lot of technological upheaval and I think use of cell phones can make it fruitful and interesting. The present study is a suggestion to use of cell phone in classroom. It tells why it is important to change our mind set and our traditional pattern of teaching. Students mind is accustomed of technology; they can easily adapt lessons given to them with the help of technology. So, paper deals with the uses of cell phone and also suggests ways of using cell phone in classroom teaching with a hawk’s eye on students.
