Abstract
The urgency of this research lies in the growing reliance on mobile technology in education and its potential to transform traditional language learning methods. As mobile phones become increasingly accessible and integrated into daily life, their role in education deserves thorough exploration to maximize benefits while addressing challenges like distractions and technology misuse. This study investigates the role of mobile phones in English Language Teaching (ELT), emphasizing their potential to improve learning outcomes, enhance student engagement, and support innovative teaching practices. The focus is on understanding how mobile applications are utilized by educators and students to facilitate language learning, particularly in areas such as vocabulary acquisition, grammar instruction, and the development of the four key language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. This study used a qualitative meta-synthesis approach, analyzing data from 25 national and international journals indexed in Quartile and Sinta rankings. The research synthesizes findings to provide insights into how mobile phones, through tools like WhatsApp, WeChat, Google Translate, and interactive learning apps, align with theories such as Technology-Assisted Language Learning (TALL), Constructivism, and Connectivism. These tools are evaluated for their effectiveness in fostering collaboration, providing instant feedback, and enhancing accessibility in learning environments. The results demonstrate that mobile phones significantly contribute to student engagement, motivation, and skill development. Applications such as WhatsApp and Google Translate enhance vocabulary learning, while multimedia resources and voice recording apps improve speaking and listening proficiency. Additionally, collaborative tools foster peer interactions and real-world skill applications. However, challenges such as technical limitations, distractions, and the need for structured integration were also identified. This study concludes that mobile phones have a transformative impact on ELT, offering valuable opportunities for personalized and interactive learning. Recommendations are provided for integrating mobile technology effectively in teaching, ensuring its benefits are maximized while minimizing potential drawbacks.
