Abstract
The process of modern communication has become effective due to the use of modern devices and tools. In education, the value of teacher and student communication is pivotal as it can help to improve learning. One of the latest methods to elevate learning processes is mobile-assisted language learning (MALL). MALL has emerged as a modern learning and teaching way all around the world. Looking at the Pakistani society, the use of latest devices and techniques is absent. There is a dire need to employ some latest ways and methods that can overhaul the already established system of learning.
