Abstract
Language learning through the assistance latest technology is the need of the hour for the EFL learners. Mobile is the latest technology in the world and its users are greater than the computer. Due to the availability and the portability mobile phones are more recognized than the computers. The prominence of mobile phones has shifted the view from CALL (computer assisted language learning) to MALL (mobile assisted language learning). The use of mobile technology in education in general and on EFL learners in particular is influencing the graduate and Postgraduates students as the modern universities taking up these new technologies to up to date their EFL classroom activities. After the emergence of Third Generation (3G) and Fourth Generation (4G) services mobile phones have become an effective tool from 2015 to 2017 in Pakistan. Now a day's EFL learners are more interested in MALL than CALL because MALL is more convenient than CALL in acquiring the English language. The objective of this paper is to investigate the Impact of MALL than CALL on EFL learners in the universities of the Southern Punjab. For this purpose, we collected data through a structured questionnaire. The results of our study show that the ratio of the response of EFL learners towards MALL is from 70% to 95%. While the ratio of response of the EFL learners towards CALL is 5% to 20%. Altogether, it comes to know that EFL learners at master level in the universities of Southern Punjab have accepted MALL than CALL and the impact of MALL was noted much impressive than CALL on EFL learners.
