Abstract

This paper investigates the efficacy of integrating mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) into intensive English courses to enhance language fluency. The study explores the impact of utilizing mobile applications and digital resources on English language learners' proficiency levels, focusing on speaking and listening skills. Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and proficiency assessments, the research evaluates the effectiveness of MALL in fostering language acquisition in intensive learning environments. Findings suggest that incorporating mobile technology can significantly augment language learning outcomes, facilitating interactive and engaging experiences conducive to fluency development. Practical implications and recommendations for implementing MALL strategies in intensive language courses are discussed.
