Secondly, it analyzes the current problems of distance EFL learners in China. Then, it makes suggestions on how to use mobile devices in distance EFL learning in China. Finally, it finds that mobile learning could partly address some of the current problems of distance EFL learners, such as lack of constant exposure to learning contents and lack of big chunk of time for study and revision etc. Some effective ways are to represent learning contents on mobile devices, create an online submission system for oral and written assignment and design a mobile interactive quiz system.
