In this paper, experiences from different research groups illustrate the
state-of-the-art of Mobile Assisted Language Learning (henceforth, MALL) in
formal and non-formal education. These research samples represent recent and
on-going progress made in the field of MALL at an international level and offer
encouragement for practitioners who are trying to incorporate these approaches into
mainline second language teaching. Furthermore, researchers interested in the field can see that the work presented here exemplifies how fertile it is, which should
hopefully serve as motivation to undertake new studies to move the state-of-the-art
further on.
