This paper investigates the efficacy of Quizlet, a mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) application, in enhancing the vocabulary usage of English language learners in Hong Kong. Utilizing a quantitative research design, the study collected and analysed baseline data before and after the implementation of Quizlet to evaluate its influence on student results. The analysis sought to identify any statistically significant differences in performance that could be attributed to the use of the MALL tool. The results indicated that while some learners experienced individual progress, there was no conclusive evidence to suggest that Quizlet usage led to a significant improvement in overall student grades. This finding points to the potential variability in the effectiveness of MALL tools and highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of how such technologies can be integrated into language learning practices.
