| Popis: | Mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) has proven effective in many aspects. It is necessary to review the effects of MALL on English listening among learners who take English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Based on journal articles indexed by Scopus and Web of Science from 2018 to 2022, using the keywords search of MALL and English listening, nine articles were selected via further screening. A synthetic literature review was conducted. It has been revealed that the applications under experiment in the last five years have generally been either self-developed or web-based. The research designs employed by researchers are either quantitative or mixed. Most importantly, the review shows that mobile-assisted language learning positively enhances English listening skills in differentiating tones and accents, segmenting words in natural speeches, expanding vocabulary, and improving pronunciation and spoken language. It also contributes to self-directed or independent learning, increases motivation, and cultivates learning habits. As for EFL lower achievers, it is reported that recording assignments and dictation exercises greatly help. On top of it, this review also synthesizes the theories and suggestions to promote MALL in English listening teaching and learning practices. |
