Abstract
In this article a case study about m-learning for elderlies using mobile devices is presented. The study focuses on a practical study about language learning for elderly students that attend classes in the so-called Inter-university program for Elderly People. The recent surge of university programs for elderly people requires novel solutions related to learning methods, directed by the special needs of this sector of the society.
