acquiring more and more advanced opportunities for social interaction and connection to the
Internet. While learning with mobile phones can take longer than with computers, students feel a
greater sense of freedom in time and space so that they can take advantage of free time to learn a
foreign language wherever they are. Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) deals with the

accordance with the individual needs, interests and level of the student's language training. This
