Abstract

The proliferation of mobile technology has redefined the boundaries of language learning. This article examines the role, effectiveness, and evolving impact of mobile applications in language education, highlighting their influence on learners, teachers, and the global landscape of communication. Drawing on contemporary research and relevant examples, the discussion investigates mobile learning (m-learning) theories, educational benefits, pedagogical shifts, motivational aspects, inclusivity, and potential drawbacks. The paper concludes with an assessment of current trends and an outline for future advances, arguing for an integrated approach between mobile technology and human-driven pedagogies.
