Abstract This research examines the adoption of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) applications by university EFL learners, responding to the increasing use of mobile technologies for language learning. Although several MALL applications claim to facilitate language learning, their real-world adoption and impact on university learners are yet to be examined, especially in non-English major settings. The study was intended to explore how students from the Wasit University, College of Arts, Department of Philosophy utilize MALL apps in support of learning the English language. A pre-fixed set questionnaire was used to gather quantitative and qualitative data on usage patterns, perceived advantages, and disadvantages from a purposive sample of 30 university students. Findings confirmed that learners use MALL apps primarily for vocabulary acquisition and listening practice, citing flexibility and accessibility as the primary advantages but reporting limitations in app content and lack of interaction as difficulties. The study highlights the potential of MALL to complement formal language instruction, but with the need for more effective app design and deliberate integration into curricula
