Abstract
Mobile technology has become increasingly popular in the past decade and provides a chance to move forward towards 21st century education. The art of teaching and learning English with the adoption of mobile technology creates a different learning environment for both teachers and students. Hence, reviewing existing works systematically is crucial in finding the gaps in teaching and learning English using mobile technology. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is conducted to identify important factors influenced in the teaching and learning English using mobile technology and existing studies in overcoming the issues. The results show that providing suitable educational technology is one of the key success factors to enhance teaching and learning English. This paper reports the key gap and limitation in current studies that focus on teaching and learning English using mobile technology.
