Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) applications in enhancing the speaking skills of high school students. With the increasing prevalence of mobile phone usage among students, the research hypothesizes that MALL applications can significantly improve language learning outcomes. The study is grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model by Davis and the Cognitive Load Theory by Sweller, providing a theoretical framework for understanding how technology can facilitate language acquisition. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to collect and analyze data. This dual approach allows for a comprehensive examination of the impact of MALL applications on students’ speaking abilities.
