This investigation examines how Meta-Analysis Based Modified Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (Meta-UTAUT) model factors affect English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education's adoption of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL). SmartPLS 3.0 software processed and analyzed data from 396 online survey participants. The findings show that attitude (ATT), performance expectation (PE), effort expectation (EE), perceived behavior control (PBC), social influence (SJ), and behavioral intention (BJ) influence actual usage behavior (UB) from high to low. This may indicate learners' views on MALL's importance and practicality in education. This research proposes strategies for educators to integrate this technology to improve educational quality.
