It seems unchallengeable for English teachers to handle classes and students, since practically everything is put under control
Summary
With the widespread application of internet into smart phones, university students have easy access to endless information written in English, for example China Daily, let alone many useful apps for learning English. With a smart phone or portable computer, a student can learn English without being limited by time and location, a process during which reading and listening activities can simultaneously be carried out, speaking and writing included occasionally. Great changes have taken place in the field of English teaching and learning process. There appears a great possibility that autonomous learning can be adopted as an effective approach to English learners as a second language without occupying any other work time or study time due to the commonness of mobile phone usage and internet coverage
