Abstract :
Existing mobile language learning tools are Web-based and subject to connectivity disturbance that ensue in restricted use. The lack of research in the implementation of mobile language learning has ignited the motivation for this study. The proposed Multimedia Mobile Language Translation tool (MMLT), incorporating various multimedia elements such as image, video, sound and text to provide alternatives for translation and subsequently increase the learners´ linguist system and encourage further learning. In addition, MMLT was examined with heuristic to ensure effective learning. MMLT is a value added mobile application designed for ease of use and minimise the efforts and time consumed to language learners.
