Therefore, this case study examined the benefits of mobile learning as supporting tool in the classroom for listening and speaking developments. It sheds light on the important MALL devices, which become using currently in field of EFL teaching and learning. In this research, it has been hypothesised that the integration of mobile assisted language learning would develop the process of teaching/learning in general and language skills in particular. In order to confirm and reject it , the current study investigated the attitudes of foreign language teachers as well as students of English at Abdel Hamid Ibn Badis University toward the effectiveness of mobile assisted language learning .it used the questionnaire and interview as instruments to collect data. The questionnaire was distributed to thirty masters one students (applied linguistics and ICTs) while the interview was with eight English teachers (08). The findings of this study revealed that both students and teachers had a positive attitude toward the effectiveness of mobile assisted language learning. Similarly, both showed a general agreement on the potential of MALL as a promising approach to learning foreign languages. Listening, speaking identified as the most appropriate language skills that can be taught through mobile devices such as mobile phones. Students have shown both their willingness and motivation to adapt their mobile devices for language learning; however, teachers showed that mainstreaming mobile education is still early. The finding suggests that more time, pedagogical infrastructure, and training is required.
