This study was designed to examine the relationship between mobile assisted language learning (m-learning) and the listening skills of Korean EFL learners. As a quasi-experimental study involving an m-learning group of 30 individuals and a comparison group of 18 students, a comparison analysis of the pre-/post- test of the two groups was performed in the study. For the study, m-learning materials with listening comprehension tasks were designed, and the students in the m-learning group were exposed to the materials for nine weeks. To further investigate their perceptions toward m-learning, data from a questionnaire and an interview procedure were collected. Through the analyses, the pre-test and post-test results of the m-learning group showed statistically significant improvement, whereas those of the comparison group failed to make such progress. In addition, the analyses of the questionnaire and interview data illustrated that the students perceived the m-learning activities to be useful for increasing listening comprehension skills and reported the ubiquitous learning environments provided them with flexible use of study time and space. Lastly, the study presents several pedagogical implications for designing and using m-learning materials.
