“…Second, we must improve the learning design in order to encourage learners to keep practicing English-speaking with this method. For example, our related research suggests that additional design of the learning system for motivating learners' selfefficacy and promoting their reflection on their achievement might increase frequency of their learning (21) . Third, we should elaborate the strategy for preparing materials.…”

Although summarizing English texts is an effective method for improving English speaking skills, it is difficult for learners to use this approach through self-study without teachers' support. In this study, we developed the Mobile Application for Listening and Scaffolded autonomous summary speaking (MALS) and evaluated its effectiveness for increasing oral fluency. MALS offers not only a summary speaking task but also scaffolding practice that decrease the cognitive load of summarizing by facilitating learners in confirming the summary points and the recommended words. The results showed that (1) the scaffolding enables learners to do a summarizing task in their self-study, and (2) MALS is effective for not only increasing the number of non-repeated words and decreasing silent time but also decreasing frequency of repair. Hence, MALS compares favorably with reading aloud activities that are judged effective for only increasing the number of non-repeated words and decreasing silent time.

Currently, one of the dominating languages in this world is English language as it has an enormous impact in practically every area of work. In this world, English language is being regarded as the language which is most commonly spoken and it is an international language for business purposes and the language of the internet which covers about 50% of the internet content. At the same time, mobile technology is becoming more and more prominent, and practitioners as well as researchers in education perceive mobile learning as a wonderful educational tool which may promote learning among students who are studying English as a foreign language. As there is a gap in literature concerning the lack of sufficient research studies which collimate their focus on the latest mobile learning technologies instead of English learning, this review intends to fill this gap. Moreover, this review orients its focus on the research problem, the acquisition of English language skills and the level of study of the participants and also it will provide a concise summary of the previous research studies by taking into consideration of group size, the type of assessment which was adopted and the duration of the experimental study in question. Therefore, this review is going to provide to the readers a thorough analysis of all the existing literature from the year 2010 to 2017 pertaining the utilisation of mobile technologies in order to study English language. This review paper focuses mainly on some key aspects that are the number of participants to be employed in such English language study, the duration of the study as well as the type of assessment and also the integration of all these factors. The result of this review can assist researchers in education sector to design accrue and fit experimental design which mitigate the challenges and facilitate the effective use of mobile learning in English language learning.
