Literature Review
The inquiry on enhancing children's English acquisition through mobile technology learning is widely explored by precedent studies. For instance, Gulnara Sadykova et. al (2016), in their publication "Integrating mobile technologies into very young second language learners' curriculum", aimed at revealing the perceptions by parents and teachers on the education-related importance of m-learning learning in English as a second Language acquisition. The study identifies that private multilingual kindergartens and preschools enhanced the language curriculum with ipads. Such schools were located within cities with multicultural populations. The results of their study reveals a growth of mobile-assisted language learning passion among instructors and the absence of support among parents for the program. Also, educators are less enthusiastic towards the educational value of MALL with children students and parents allow children to use it without necessarily recognizing the educational benefits.
