Summary/Abstract: With the introduction and integration of technology within the lives of individuals, it is no surprise that a majority of disciplines have and will continue to experience changes, and by no means educational settings are an exception to such changes. Second language (L2) teaching and learning has been experiencing its own share of technological innovations; mobile-assisted Language Learning (MALL), for instance, is a fast-growing area of research and tends to be favored in certain circumstances when compared to its traditional counterparts such as textbook-based language learning and Computer-Assisted Language Learning. Brown (2010) states that “the distinguishing aspect of mobile learning is the assumption that learners are continuously on the move” (p. 7) and this move encompasses not only the physical aspects but also the contextual changes that individuals may experience.
