摘要：Mobile phones usage had extensively penetrated into the world. A study done by the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) found that in the first quarter of year 2010, the penetration rate for cellular phone in Malaysia is 121 per 100 inhabitants. Penetration rate over 100% occurs because of multiple subscriptions (Adnan, 2012). Malaysia has the second highest mobile penetration in South East Asia after Singapore (Baharom, 2013). The learners appreciated the text messages and felt that SMSes had helped them to stay focused and engaged in their studies. SMS emphasized learner-centered, where the learner can access information anytime, anywhere in order to build their skills and knowledge. SMS is also a community-centered where the learners were required to collaborate and share their views on the discussion topic enhancing constructive learning experience. This article presents the importance of SMS as an innovative approach for mobile learning in Malaysia.
