With the rapid development of information technology, mobile learning, as an innovative teaching model, is particularly suitable for college English listening and speaking teaching. This study first outlines the theoretical foundation of mobile learning and informal learning theory, and then analyzes in depth the specific implementation methods of mobile learning in English listening and speaking teaching, including the selection of teaching resources, planning of teaching content, setting of teaching objectives, and the application of mobile platforms such as WeChat in promoting teacher-student interaction. Through interviews with teachers and students to collect data, the study found that mobile learning significantly improves students' English listening and speaking abilities, especially in enhancing their participation and learning motivation. Finally, based on the research findings, this article proposes a series of teaching suggestions aimed at guiding future teaching practices, especially using mobile learning tools to improve the effectiveness of English listening and speaking teaching in higher education environments.
