Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL): Students’ Perception and Problems towards Mobile Learning in English Language

Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) is the latest learning way in the language education where applications or websites are used to facilitate students learning activities. Mobile phone has been studied years by researchers in its connection with education related activities. This research will focus on its main purposes, they are: 1) students’ perceptions in using mobile phone in English language learning classroom activities; 2). the problem of using mobile phone to support classroom activities, especially in English language learning. The method of the research was quantitative method which used 70 students as research object. The data were collected through a 5-point Likert Scale questionnaire. The research found; first, the students’ majority had positive perception on the usage of MALL to support classroom activities, especially in learning English language. Second, the problem in internet connectivity is the biggest problems that students faced in terms of using MALL in English language classroom. But, It is hoped that MALL will be used as one of the teaching aids that could assist students in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) more effectively.
