           As we know that the development of technology has change human’s habitual inside their life and It also change the way of learning process nowadays. MALL is one result of the technology development that enhances the opportunity to learn language for the students. Opportunity means students can learn language anytime when they wan to learn it.
            Mobile learning is such a brighter way to answer student’s needs of portable learning. By using their mobile device they can access learning portal and learn anywhere and anytime that they want too. One of mobile device that can be used as a tool for language learning is PDA.
            Just like its name, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or also known as a palmtop computer, or personal data assistant, is a mobile device that functions as a personal information manager. Current PDAs often have the ability to connect to the Internet. A PDA has an electronic visual display, enabling it to include a web browser, but some newer models also have audio capabilities, enabling them to be used as mobile phones or portable media players.
            Many PDAs can access the Internet, intranets or extranets via Wi-Fi or Wireless Wide Area Networks. Many PDAs employ touchscreen technology. By using this mobile device students can learn language in many ways. For example, I am a student, I want to learn language, and I have a PDA. I just have to access to internet and browse for some websites that provide the tools/features and resources that can be used as my learning aid. By using PDA I can access the data every time that I need, it means I don’t have to come to my PC to learn language. It’s easier and simpler.
                 From this meeting of TLL subject, i know that we as a new generation of teacher can provide an easier way for our digital native students a new way of learning language; it’s cheaper, efficient, and more interesting.
