Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) provides a new method and view for pre-service English teachers to improve their professional ability. Through the questionnaire survey of 105 students majoring in English in colleges and universities, using SPSS20.0 to carry out descriptive statistics on the effective data collected, analyzing the data of their maximum value, mean value and single sample t test, this paper discusses the preference of different pre-service English teachers to improve their different professional abilities by using mobile devices. It is found that pre-service English teachers pay more attention to the improvement of English professional knowledge with the support of mobile devices, followed by teaching skills, and the lowest attention to the use of mobile devices to improve their teacher professional quality. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find out the lack of pre-service English teachers' preference to improve their ability through mobile technology, which provides a new learning idea and inspiration for the future English teachers to polish their own professional skills.
