The advent of mobile technology in education has radically transformed language learning practices, exemplified by the emergence of mobile-assisted language learning. This study provides a content analysis of doctoral research on mobile-assisted language learning conducted in Türkiye, featuring the diverse instructional settings, participant groups, research paradigms, data collection instruments, thematic focuses, and key findings. It was revealed that MALL offers a range of benefits for foreign language learning, including improved vocabulary learning, listening and speaking skills. The analyses also showed that participants expressed favorable attitudes and perceptions regarding the use of MALL tools. Moreover, a number of dissertations highlighted the role of mobile-assisted professional development courses in equipping L2 practitioners with the necessary skills and support to integrate mobile technologies into their instructional practices effectively. In conclusion, by examining the doctoral dissertations, this study provides some insights into the current state of MALL research in Türkiye, identifying thematic and methodological trends.
