Introduction
Mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) has gained increasing attention in recent years as mobile technology has become more accessible and ubiquitous. With the proliferation of smartphones and tablets, language learners now have the ability to engage with language learning materials anytime and anywhere. This has opened up new possibilities for language learning, allowing for more personalized and interactive learning experiences.
This thesis will investigate the effectiveness of MALL in language learning, with a focus on its impact on language proficiency, motivation, and engagement. By examining the current literature on MALL and conducting empirical research, this study aims to provide insights into how mobile technology can be effectively utilized to enhance language learning outcomes.
