126 and data security should be considered, as many apps collect personal information. Teachers need to choose secure platforms and educate students about safe digital practices [3, p. 20]. In practice, combining mobile activities with instructor-led sessions and peer feedback can help address these challenges, ensuring that MALL supports meaningful learning rather than becoming a source of distraction. Practical Recommendations For effective use of mobile technologies in English language teaching, educators should integrate MALL thoughtfully into the curriculum. Mobile activities work best when combined with classroom discussions or instructor-led practice, ensuring that technology complements rather than replaces direct teaching [2, p. 15]. Tasks should focus on authentic communication, encouraging learners to use language meaningfully while reflecting on their progress. Teachers can foster autonomy by helping students set goals, monitor their achievements, and select activities suited to their level and interests. A balanced approach ensures that mobile tools enhance engagement, motivation, and language development without causing distraction or superficial learning [3, p. 19]. Conclusion. Mobile-Assisted Language Learning represents a flexible, engaging, and learner-centered approach to English education. When implemented thoughtfully, it strengthens learner autonomy, motivation, and confidence, providing opportunities to practice language skills anytime and anywhere. By combining mobile activities with structured guidance, authentic communication tasks, and reflective practices, educators can maximize the benefits of MALL while mitigating challenges. This approach prepares learners not only to improve language competence but also to develop essential digital literacy and self-directed learning skills for the 21st century [1, p. 6; 3, p. 20].
