Mobile devices are widely used around the world. In the context of higher education, a mobile learning (M-learning) plays the main role for developing language learning and teaching. Although several studies have examined the use of mobile applications for language learning and teaching, more studies about using mobile applications focusing more on specific English language skills are needed. Therefore, this study investigated i) the mobile applications which the students used to enhance their English language skills, and ii) how the students used their preferred mobile applications. The study population included English major students. The questionnaire was used as an instrument to collect the data of the study. Hopefully, the results obtained could be used as a guideline for EFL students to promote their English language learning in long term. The teachers would also gain more dimensions about the use of mobile applications by the students. That would support the teachers in terms of combining the mobile applications and their classroom activities.
