Since the start of mobile technologies made their presence felt in the field of education, M-learning has been regarded as a new generation of e-learning due to the typical features of mobile devices, that is, practicality, effectiveness, high availability (Stockwell, 2010). It is reported that now mobile phones has outnumbered people in many countries across the world (Thornton & Houser, 2003). And a growing number of people have mobile phones or other similar mobile devices on them daily. Therefore, m-learning has emerged as an important potential instrument for lifelong learning (Stockwell, 2010). As one of the technologies used to aid learners in foreign language learning, mobile phones are also dominant in most Chinese university students’ life. They are not just communication devices but also learning instruments. Thus, this technology has become a new approach to language learning, called Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) (Thornton & Houser, 2005).
