【Abstract】In this paper， a case study of MALL in a vocational college in JiangSu province in China is provided. Three classes of freshmen of this college were selected to learn English in three alternative methods： traditional paper-based learning for Class 1， voluntary mobile learning with a mobile app for Class 2 and free learning （either paper-based or mobile learning） for Class 3. In this study， we kept our focus mostly on Class 2. Different learning channels were open for these participants to choose the best suitable way for their own learning. Most participants in class 2 and 3 demonstrated positive feedbacks for learning with the mobile app “Smart Phone Class”. The possible correlations among different learning channels were illustrated for a systematic consideration of EFL with mobile technology. Weakness and possible improvement were also listed for further research and implementation in vocational education system of China.
