One of the requirements to get competitive human resources internationally is mastery technology in learning. On the other hand, means that human has the ability to use information and communication technology to communicate with cognitive and technical skills. In line with the its definition, MALL is the massive solution. Mobile assisted language learning or language learning utilization based mobile phones. The merits of this study be worthy of helping learners easier understand while language learning process is occurring either guided face to face in the classroom or self-learning out of classroom. Study used classroom action research in gaining data. Seeing initial students' ability, this study designed into three cycles in gathered data.

In the final analysis results declares using MALL is pretty effective to encourage student's motivation, built-up selflearning language, aids to enrich vocabulary, promote speaking, grammar and listening skill were greater.
