These findings establish Cake as a valuable Mobile-Assisted Language Learning tool for intermediate-level students, fostering confidence and fluency in spoken English. The study's implications highlight the importance of incorporating technology-enhanced language learning tools like Cake into educational programs. Educators and curriculum developers can benefit from these insights when designing language learning strategies. In conclusion, this research confirms the positive perception of students towards Cake's impact on speaking skills. The study supports the effectiveness of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning tools like Cake in enhancing language proficiency among intermediate-level students.
