The use of Information and communication technology (ICT) for language practice has a long history, and mobile learning launched when the first project to use mobile phones in language learning which was developed by the Stanford Learning Lab to help Spanish learners (Brown, E, 2001). Today the communication technology has become one of the necessities of modern learning and communication, for instance most Chinese schools and classrooms set up groups to sending their announcements, and multimedia to students on widespread social mobile applications to communicate and sharing audio, photos, videos it is called (WeChat) and it has more than 800 million users all over the world (Lien, C. H. and Y. Cao, 2014).
Previous studies in mobile learning which have highlighted some key benefits that mobile learning can offer both educators and students most of them reported some mobile applications functions such as vocabulary practicing, grammar quizzes some evidences, word and phrase translations most of the reviewed studies are experimental, small-scale, and conducted within a short period of time and they often adopted quantitative methods to indicate positive effects of mobile learning in language acquisition in general terms and some studies show that learners have a positive attitude towards the use of mobile technologies for the second and foreign language acquisition (Cavus and Ibrahim, 2009; H.Kukulska et. al, 2008; Chih.

It has helped me to be more mentally flexible and to think divergently, a skill that allows me to more easily abstract and conceptualize ideas. I also receive immense satisfaction from being able to speak directly to people from all walks of life in their own languages. To share the benefits I have gained from the exposure to languages with others, this summer, without any prior computer programming experience, I combined my passion for languages and technology by developing a smartphone application that teaches toddlers simple words and sentence structure in various languages. The application is intuitive enough for young children to effortlessly handle and has modes of use that imitate the way humans naturally learn to speak a language: through listening, repetition, and immediate feedback.

It is generally accepted that information is a vital commodity for the successful operation of today’s organizations. Nowadays modern business organizations are using computerized information systems in order to obtain such information.

The last two decades has witnessed the rapid evolvement of mobile technologies. The penetration of portable devices (smartphones and tablets) and the expansion of potential learners has made the mobile assisted language learning (MALL) possible. Although there is no explicit definition to the concept of MALL, it can be interpreted as learning languages with aids of mobile technologies such as mobile phones, media players, PDAs, smart phones, and tablet computers, which are potentially available anytime and anywhere (Duman et al., 2015).

More recently than in years past, digital technology and social media have grown to become a part of our everyday lives. The recent rise in those who own smartphones allows this everyday use of digital technology and social networking to be easier than ever before. At any time and any place, we have the ability to “socialize” with nearly anyone—even celebrities who have no idea most of us even exist. The continuous consumption of digital media has altered once personal face-to-face communication to just that, digital. More and more people seem to be living in what Sonia Maasik and Jack Solomon call “The Cloud”. “The Cloud” is a seemingly alternate universe of which communication is altered from personal to digital. This universe has led to debates over whether or not these online communities are real or whether social media is actually social. Various digital media sources also encourage users to create individual identities, of which may or may not actually be real. It seems as though our reliance on digital technology and social media have allowed the determination of certain aspects of our lives. Although social media allows us to connect with nearly anyone at any time, Americans have taken advantage of its use, and their attention has been drawn away from real life interactions to digital ones. The ramifications of such influences reflect the hidden insecurities of Americans and, ironically, emphasize our inclination to boast about ourselves by allowing others to see the
