In every language there are four skills that need to be developed in order to have a proper

comunication: Listening, reading, speaking and writing. At the same time, there are something
called sub-skills, that need to be learnt in order to develop the four skills properly. Among them
there is skimming, scanning, paraphrasing, summarizing, grammar and vocabulary learning
(University of Cambridge, 2009).

Knowing vocabulary is important when developing the four skills because is basic in
communication. For example: when people has a lack of vocabulary when listening a conference
or reading a book, probably they will not be able to understand what is the listening or text about;
and if they do not know vocabulary when speaking or writing, they will not be able to express
themselves. "The more vocabulary learners know, the better they are likely to perform through
the medium of the foreign language" (Milton. p 68).

This assumption is supported by data found in a research made by Sthr in 2008. His research
concluded that the variance in the ability to obtain an average score or above in a skill test is due
to the vocabulary size (the most frequent 2,000 word families). The test results were 72% in the
reading test, 52% in the writing test and 39% in the listening test.

The word ubiquitous comes from the Latin ubique 'everywhere' and means present everywhere.
When relating this concept with technology, it describes the worlds present situation perfectly.
This is because nowadays people recurred or depends on technological devices for almost
everything and they have full access to information anywhere through them.

Learning can be also included in this concept when talking to technology because thanks to mobile
devices, students have the information always available. This means that they can study whenever
and wherever they want or can. Ubiquitous learning means any environment that allows any
mobile learning devices to access the learning and teaching contents via wireless networks in any
location at any time (Yahya, Saadiah, et.al 2010). With ubiquitous learning is possible to take
advantage of any little opportunity we have to study.
