TEACHERS' PERCEPTIONS OF MOBILE-ASSISTED LANGUAGE LEARNING IN MODERN EDUCATION
Abstract
The integration of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) into educational settings has become increasingly prevalent, offering learners unprecedented accessibility and flexibility (Traxler, 2007). This study investigates the perceptions of English language teachers regarding the benefits and challenges of integrating MALL into modern language classrooms. While findings across the literature largely indicate positive attitudes towards MALL's potential for enhancing student motivation, autonomy, and engagement, significant concerns persist regarding technical limitations, pedagogical content quality, and classroom management issues. Understanding teachers' perspectives is crucial for developing effective and sustainable professional development programs that support the successful integration of mobile technology in language education.
