Meta-analysis of 13 studies published between year 2008 and 2015 was conducted. Four point criteria for the selection of studies for analysis is based on the year of publication, quasi-experimental design, pretest and posttest method and finally use of mobile device for intervention. Findings of the analysis suggest that MALL has fostered the EFL instruction. Overall effect size was (d = 0.8) which is considered a large effect size.  \nKeywords: MALL, technology assisted language learning, EFL, vocabulary acquisition, vocabulary instruction, metaanalysis  \n1. Introduction  \nWe live in a world now so obsessed with speed (Devine, 2014) . In fact speed is one the most defining ideals of our lives. Speed is further propelled by technological innovations in the field of telecommunications. It has reached mind boggling limits of 1tbs/s (Hecht, 2004) . The web has registered a phenomenal growth of 806 % over the past fifteen years with more than 3.2 billion users ([http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm](http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm)). Mobile phones are used by over two billion users. An average American is glued to electronic screen for about 56% of a workday ([http://www.smartinsights.com/mobile-marketing/](http://www.smartinsights.com/mobile-marketing/)). Ubiquitous nature of this connectivity has drawn the interest of educators worldwide. In this regard, language studies are of particular beneficiaries. Since use of language is free of time and place constraints, it stands to reason that its instruction may also be free of such constraints. Mobile phones offer such an opportunity where language can be learnt anywhere and anytime.  \n2. Literature Review  \nMobile phones have recorded a tremendous growth since Chickering and Ehrmann (1996) coined the term MALL (Mobile Assisted Language Learning) . More recently, the term has been associated with mobile phones. These phones with user friendly interfaces, ubiquitous access and improved data storage and retrieval capacities offer a good platform for learning (Gabarre, Gabarre, Din, Shah, & Karim, 2014; Godwin-Jones, 2011; Miangah & Nezarat, 2012) . Insights from CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) can be used to inform the learning activities presented through mobile phones (Kukulska-Hulme, 2005) . Because these phones are miniature form of PCs with additional benefit of portability which surpasses laptop computers. This leap of technology from lap to palm has literally given a potential language learning tool in the hands of the teachers and their students (Kukulska-Hulme, 2009) . Our lives are deeply immersed in technology.
