This paper presents a new blended instruction model incorporating mobile‐based e‐Learning into a traditional nonwired classroom in foreign language teaching. The mobile tool adopted is iPod Touch. Our lesson was designed on the basis of the motivational model proposed by John M. Keller, which is widely known as the ARCS model. Our study considers the effect of this teaching model on students' vocabulary retention and oral speaking ability, and evaluates the course model in terms of the ARCS model, conducted at a Japanese national college of technology. The results suggest that the course stimulated the learners' interest sufficiently and changed the attitude of their learning strategies in a more communicative direction.
