<br/><br/>  The widespread ownership of mobile devices paved the way for educational<br/> institutions to reconsider teaching practices and strategies to accommodate the<br/> integration of these tools in the classroom. This study was conducted to<br/> investigate the influences of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) strategy<br/> in Senior High School English language instruction. The study utilized descriptive<br/> research method through the use of researcher-made questionnaire to identify the<br/> respondents' background knowledge in the use of mobile device and their regard<br/> on MALL strategy. Results of the study show that students navigate and<br/> manipulate basic features and functions of mobile devices that are mainly for<br/> entertainment purposes and seldom for educational purposes. Moreover,<br/> influencing elements in the implementation of MALL were also identified. An<br/> emergent theory in ELT was also formulated based on the premise that certain<br/> motivation and demotivation factors are considered in the adoption or non<br/> adoption of MALL.
