description The aim of this work is to explore the latest research developments related to the integration of mobile learning into the teaching of English as a foreign language. This research is basically organized into four different categories: (1) research on the use of different mobile devices in the English classes including apps and links; (2) the preparation of English teachers including professionals updating and their general reactions toward mobile learning; (3) the engineering of more sophisticated computer solutions for appropriate integrated mobile learning platforms for the teaching and learning of English; and (4) the different pedagogical strategies developed for mobile learning.
