Abstract
Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) refers to the use of smart mobile ‎devices, such as smartphones and tablets, to support language learning processes. ‎With the widespread adoption of mobile technology, MALL has gained significant ‎attention in recent years as promising technology to language learning and teaching. ‎Currently, MALL is considered as of significant potential to enhance language ‎learning and teaching outcomes by supporting learner engagement, autonomy, and ‎motivation. Mobile learning environment provides opportunities for authentic and ‎contextualized language use, helping learners to engage the practices of language ‎skills in the real world settings. This paper provides an overview of MALL, ‎discussing its definition, features, advantages, and challenges. It explores the ‎various applications of MALL in different language learning contexts and presents ‎a critical analysis of its effectiveness. Additionally, the paper addresses the future ‎prospects and potential advancements in MALL, considering the evolving landscape ‎of mobile technology and language learning.‎
