Abstract

This paper examines the growing influence of mobile learning technologies on mobile-assisted language learning (MALL). With the advent of smartphones and tablets, educational tools have become more accessible and personalized, allowing learners to engage in language learning at their own pace and convenience. The integration of mobile technologies into language education has transformed traditional learning environments, providing interactive and engaging platforms for students. This study explores the various aspects of MALL, including the benefits, challenges, and future trends in this field. It discusses how mobile devices facilitate language learning through features such as multimedia resources, real-time translation, and social interaction. The paper also highlights the importance of designing user-friendly applications and considering the diverse needs of learners. By analyzing existing research and case studies, this paper aims to shed light on the potential of mobile learning technologies in enhancing language acquisition and proficiency.

Keywords: Mobile learning technologies; mobile-assisted language learning (MALL); language education; smartphone; interactive platforms; multimedia resources.;
