Introduction
Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) is a rapidly growing field in the realm of education, particularly in language learning. The use of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets has revolutionized the way in which individuals can learn and practice a new language. With the increasing accessibility of mobile devices and the development of various language learning applications, MALL has become an attractive option for language learners of all ages and proficiency levels.
This thesis aims to explore the effectiveness of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning in improving language proficiency and skills. By examining the current literature on MALL and conducting empirical research, this study seeks to provide insights into the benefits and challenges of using mobile devices for language learning.
