Mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) involves using mobile devices like phones, MP3 players, and tablets to assist or enhance language learning. MALL combines aspects of mobile learning and computer-assisted language learning. It allows learning to take place anywhere through content and interactive features on mobile devices. Some key advantages of MALL include personalization that increases engagement and motivation, as well as accessibility anytime and anywhere to help learners stay on track with less dropouts. However, overuse of mobile devices can also lead to isolation, distraction, addiction and security issues if not used properly. Popular language learning apps take advantage of MALL approaches.
