This descriptive paper aims at pointing out the importance of utilizing mobiles in teaching English as a second language. Moreover, it presents the efficiency of m-learning, or Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL), as a powerful motivator that brings the outside reality to English as a Second Language (ESL) classroom, and it ensures students’ individuality while keeping up the team work. Furthermore, it focuses on embracing applications or apps as a cornerstone in teaching English for their broad availability, deep action and prolonged effect. This has been proved by discussing the Dual Coding theory, the Working Memory Model and the Frame of the Rational Analysis of Mobile Education (FRAME). Also, some models were displayed to show real experience in applying m-learning in teaching English as a second language at university level. The paper concluded that MALL has many qualities that can enhance the learning outcomes, elevates the positivity of the class environment and reduce time and connectivity waste. Besides, it guarantees better vocabulary acquiring and practicing. However, more research on the methodology of employing mobiles and Apps in teaching English and its limitations is still badly needed so as to help educators take responsibilities of their new roles in such classes.
