Use of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) Apps in Teaching English to Engineering Students – A Study

Abstract

Proficiency in written and spoken English is becoming increasingly crucial for engineering students to thrive in their academic and professional endeavors. Mobile-Assisted Language Learning applications have been created as a means to assist language learners in studying on an individualized basis, providing them with flexibility and ease of access. This paper examines the potential application of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) applications in the delivery of English language instruction targeted at engineering students. This study explores different theoretical frameworks in the fields of language acquisition, educational technology, and engineering education. Its objective is to analyze the advantages, difficulties, and consequences of integrating innovative Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) applications into the English Language curriculum specifically tailored for engineering students. This research conducts a comprehensive assessment of the influence of MALL apps on the language proficiency requirements of engineering students, as well as their motivation and excitement. Lastly, this paper address pedagogical factors and suggestions for researchers and tutors that utilize MALL applications in English engineering lessons.
