Abstract

The development and application of mobile-assisted Language learning (MALL) has influenced the reform and development of English teaching and has gradually become a hot topic educational field. This paper employs the bibliometric analysis, which is conducted on CiteSpace, to visualize the relevant literature on MALL and English learning from Web of Science (WoS) core database. After applying the PRISMA framework for rigorous article selection, a sample of 327 published articles is scrutinized. Within this analysis, emphasis is placed on knowledge mapping, clusters, and keywords to unveil insights within the selected 327 articles. The study reveals several significant findings, including a discernible publication trend, identification of the top 10 influential and productive journals, an exploration of the top 10 influential articles, and the delineation of four principal research themes: enhancing classroom pedagogy, mobile learning modalities, the impact of text messages, and the sociocultural dimension. The meticulous analysis offers valuable insights into the evolving landscape of MALL and its intersection with English language learning. As the research unfolds, this study seeks to illuminate the intricate connections within this dynamic field and potentially inform educators, researchers, and policymakers about effective strategies and future directions in English language education through mobile-assisted platforms.
