Popis:	Recent pervasiveness of mobile computing becomes an attractive motivation for EFL learners. Korea provides an excellent environment for using mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs, with easy access to wireless networks. This offers the learners a chance to practice writing on-the-move. This paper introduces a design of a mobile-based tool to assist the learners of beginning to intermediate levels in improving English writing skills. It provides two types of learning mode: 1) the learners select grammatical categories for which the tool provides a brief description and exercise questions, and 2) they choose one of the suggested Korean sentences and write a corresponding English sentence to be evaluated and provided with instructional feedback.
