Educators' Perceptions Towards Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL)

This paper presents the findings of a case study about university teachers' perceptions regarding Mobile assisted language learning (MALL) and the fences associated with it. Five English language teachers from public sector universities were surveyed respondents for this study project. Researchers used the purposive technique for data collection. This technique is the fittest research method since participants were drawn on specific criteria of only English language educators. The research mode was qualitative, and the data collection instrument was semi-structured interviews. The content analysis approach was employed for data analysis purposes.Miles and Huber man's (1994) qualitative data analysis method was employed. Results exhibited that mobile-assisted language learning played an indispensable role in English language learning. Nonetheless, a few barriers influenced it, i.e., 'teachers' inadequate knowledge, absence of devices, expensive internet packages, electricity load shedding, poor network coverage, de-motivation, boredom, small screen,sluggish internet speed, and data storage deficiency.
