Integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in teacher education is a means to support the teaching and learning process. Good teaching by utilising technology certainly requires changes, especially in the realm of pedagogy, hereby the application of mobile learning apps (MLA) had been created widely since pandemic occurred. Unfortunately, after the pandemic ended, teachers have stopped maximising ICT in the learning process. In fact, ICT has the ability to bring numerous benefits to teachers and students, such as joint learning areas, cooperative and collaborative learning opportunities. As a result, the purpose of this study is to determine the use and impact and role of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) in the English Secondary Language (ESL) classroom. The method utilised is a systematic literature review, which collects data from three databases, namely Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, and Educational Resources Information Centre (ERIC), 11 articles were extracted out of 27, from 2020 to 2024, with exclusion and inclusion criteria taken into consideration.
