In the realm of education, information technology (IT), particularly mobile devices and applications, is becoming increasingly popular. Language learning has become one of the areas of education where mobile technology is being used. In Indonesia, Mobile-Assisted Language Learning has been implemented some areas, while it is acknowledged that some areas have not benefited as much as others. Some have questioned whether MALL might be used in their areas, while others have stated that it is unavoidable. The following are the research questions: 1) what are the advantages and disadvantages of using MALL? 2) How feasible is it to utilize MALL in an Indonesian context? The nature of this study is descriptive qualitative. The data collection methods used was library research. Data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing were the approaches used to analyze the data. This research examines a variety of literature (including peer-reviewed studies) on the benefits and drawbacks of adding MALL into the framework of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education. The application of these concepts in an Indonesian setting is then examined. Finally, to stay up with global digital learning, this article advocates that MALL be used for EFL teaching in Indonesia.
