Is there any relevant theoretical framework for Mobile assisted language learning (MALL) in EFL, especially for the effect on Intermediate students' motivation and recptice skills?
Here is a theoretical framework for CALL, and I think it is mostly relevant to MALL.
Chapter The “Standard Model” for CALL Learning Design
I cannot share the full text on ResearchGate due to copyright, but if you are interested, let me know.
Good evening, dear Changhong Peng
I understand that you are from Malaysia and you teach EFL, to your university students. Ok, so what skills do you want to develop in them? What are the competitions you want your students to reach? I ask you these questions, because depending on them, it is that you will apply the technique of: MALL.
Through means such as the cell phone, you will not have many problems in motivating them, conventionally worldwide, the majority of students spend a lot of time with them, even if it is for some form of formal learning, as in this case.
Regarding the reception skills that you mention in your question, that is related to your teaching skills, so there, you would not have to worry about it.
A fundamental and critical part would lie in the skills and competencies that you want to achieve in them and the way in which you will evaluate said technique (MALL), the critical question is how will you evaluate them?
Then the theoretical framework will come to you as a consequence, in the form of your evaluation, all the other theories that you require will come by domino effect.
Best regards.

Dear Changhong Peng,
I have a colleague here in Brazil who researches MALL in EFL who may be able to help you. Her name is Luana Garbin Baldissera. There is one article you could read about apps for developing pronunciation (see link below). Right now, she is working on the development of listening skills through videos. Her e-mail is [email protected]. You could also contact her advisor, Celso Henrique Soufen Tumolo.
Best regards.
