Mobile technologies as a bridge to proficiency in language of origin

Abstract

The paper deals with several options for Ukrainian migrants to preserve their identity and language. Together with family, church and migrant associations they can have profit from self-study using different mobile devices. It is said that for people with migrant background mobile technologies can act as a bridge offering the opportunity to make links between the education that takes place inside the classroom and the outside world, between learning with peers at the same time, i.e. synchronous learning and studying at other times and places convenient to them, i.e. asynchronous learning.
