Abstract
The present paper shows the results of a research project located at the University of La Rioja and scheduled to be carried out during the academic year 2014-2015. The main objective is to explore the usefulness of the educational mobile application Celly© in the teaching of a specific theoretical concept (i.e. conceptual metaphor) to students of two different undergraduate degrees (i.e. English Studies and Oenology). The study gathers information on the degree of improvement in the application of the target theoretical concept to the analysis of a real discourse (in the case of English Studies students), as well as on increase of Oenology students' awareness of the relevance of conceptual metaphor for their professional discourse. In addition, this research offers relevant data on the degree of satisfaction, and perception of time performance which students associate with the use of the mobile application under scrutiny.
