I meet each of my classes two days in a week. I'm sure most of them don't encounter with English in remaining five days. I've tried to find solutions to that problem, and I should say; giving homework isn't a solution. I have to find other ways to reach them.

We know especially young people really fond of their cell phones. That fact brought me to the idea "SMS Word". Once a week, I send a word from the next unit of the course book. For example, we have classes on Saturday and Sunday, I send them text messages every Wednesday evening. I give the meaning of the word, add pronunciation and I use the word in a sentence.

Before starting the project I asked all the students one by one if they want to receive these messages and I told them they can unsubscribe whenever they want.

Here's the result: it's been more than 2 months since I started the project. The students are very glad and noone wanted to unsubscribe. When I'm late they ask me "Where is our message?" After sending the messages I ask in my first lesson "What was the message of the week?", "What was the meaning?". The result is amazing! They even remember the sentence with every single word.

I want to hear your comments. My next step is preparing and sending MMS using pictures, so do you have any suggestions? How can we improve SMS Word project?
