Vocabulary learning has gained a profound ground in language learning, and with the advent of text-messaging, researchers have shown great enthusiasm to investigate the interplay between the two. Therefore, the present paper seeks to firstly define MALL (Mobile Assisted Language Learning) in terms of language learning, to secondly compare and contrast E-learning and M-learning, to thirdly elaborate upon theories underlying MALL in general and text-message vocabulary learning in particular, to fourthly explicate the practical studies done on text-message vocabulary learning, and finally to enumerate the advantages and disadvantages of MALL and text-message vocabulary learning.
