This study investigates the effectiveness and student perceptions of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) embedded in English learning applications for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. Employing a quantitative quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design with a correlational component, the study involved 120 upper secondary school students from three public senior high schools in South Sumatra, Indonesia. Two mobile applications, BBC Learning English and English Reading Test, were used over a two-week period. Data were collected using a standardized 25-item multiple-choice reading comprehension test and a validated 20-item perception questionnaire adapted from established reading assessment frameworks. Paired sample t-tests revealed a statistically significant improvement in students reading comprehension scores after the intervention (p < 0.05; d = 0.78). Pearson product-moment correlation analysis indicated a positive relationship between students perceptions of the assessment features and their reading score gains. Students reported highly positive perceptions, especially in usability and engagement, while feedback mechanisms received slightly lower but still positive ratings. These findings highlight the potential of mobile-based reading comprehension assessments as effective tools for improving reading performance in EFL contexts, provided they are designed with authentic materials, interactive tasks, and timely feedback.

The study demonstrates a statistically significant improvement in EFL students reading comprehension following the implementation of mobile-based assessments.Students exhibited positive perceptions towards the usability and engagement of these assessments, indicating their potential for enhancing the learning experience.A positive correlation was found between students perceptions of the assessments and their reading comprehension gains, suggesting that favorable attitudes contribute to improved performance.

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk mengeksplorasi efektivitas aplikasi MALL yang disesuaikan dengan berbagai tingkat kemahiran bahasa Inggris, dengan mempertimbangkan perbedaan kebutuhan dan gaya belajar siswa. Selain itu, studi komparatif dapat dilakukan untuk membandingkan dampak penggunaan aplikasi MALL dengan metode pembelajaran tradisional dalam konteks yang berbeda, seperti perbedaan kurikulum atau sumber daya sekolah. Terakhir, penelitian kualitatif dapat dilakukan untuk menggali lebih dalam pengalaman siswa dalam menggunakan aplikasi MALL, termasuk tantangan yang dihadapi dan strategi yang mereka gunakan untuk memaksimalkan manfaatnya, sehingga dapat memberikan wawasan yang lebih komprehensif untuk pengembangan aplikasi MALL yang lebih efektif dan relevan.
