Introduction
Mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) has emerged as a promising approach to language learning, leveraging the ubiquity of mobile devices to enhance language acquisition outside the traditional classroom setting. With the increasing prevalence of smartphones and tablets, learners now have access to a wide range of language learning resources and tools at their fingertips. This thesis aims to explore the effectiveness of MALL in enhancing language learning outcomes and to identify best practices for integrating mobile technology into language learning programs.
