This study explores undergraduate students' experiences of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) and its role in improving English language skills. Despite its growing use, there is limited research on how students evaluate MALL's impact on their proficiency. Using narrative inquiry, this qualitative study examines two students from a university in Central Java, Indonesia, who use mobile apps for language learning outside the classroom. Data were collected through a narrative frame and semi-structured interviews. The findings show that students view MALL as a flexible, accessible method for language learning, with one student emphasizing its convenience and the other noting its limitations for academic development without prior knowledge. Mobile applications like YouTube, Duolingo, Grammarly, and TOEFL-oriented apps support students’ learning experience, but may not fully meet the needs of advanced learners. The study concludes that MALL can supplement traditional methods, providing a practical way to learn outside the classroom.
