The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of mobile-learning (m-learning) on EFL student satisfaction and performance. For this empirical study, a research model was proposed with hypotheses. For m-learning attributes, four variables were suggested: Mobility, Content Personalization, Interactivity, and Accessibility. In addition, Learning Supports mechanisms used as potential moderating factor was proposed in order to test whether this variable enhances the relationship between Satisfaction and Performance in English m-learning. the data were collected from actual m-learning EFL students. A total of 279 responses were analyzed to test the proposed hypotheses. Results show that all hypotheses were significantly supported, suggesting that m-learning attributes are crucial factors for increasing EFL learners’ satisfaction and performance. Furthermore, the relationship between Satisfaction and Performance is enhanced by the inclusion of various types of Learning Supports. Finally, academic and practical implications are discussed.
