Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess how well Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) at SMPN 45 Palembang improves speaking abilities in English as a foreign language (EFL). Using a pre-experimental approach, the study involves a single group of students from the same class using the MALL method. This study is quantitative in nature and uses oral pre- and post-test data gathering methods in a single class of students at SMP Negeri 45 Palembang. With an average pre-test score of 61.69 and an average post-test score of 79.3, the statistical analysis and data gathering results demonstrate an improvement in English language proficiency following the implementation of MALL. These results demonstrate that MALL is a useful instrument for raising students' proficiency in speaking English as a foreign language (EFL).
