Abstract
Mobile learning has become apprentice for today’s education. With the emerging of mobile technologies, variety of features of current mobile applications could benefit the learners with enhanced learning environment while playing anywhere, anytime. This paper presents a framework of mobile English learning system for Malaysian Primary School for children aged from 9 to 12 years old. It aims to provide both fun and educational features to the learners by offering game-based activities to stimulate their imagination and challenge their curriculum skills such as antonyms, synonyms and sentence structures. The proposed architecture supports cross platform user interface and the framework offers reliability to provide the learner with some erudition input.
