This quasi-experimental study aimed at investigating the effect of mobile-assisted task-based learning on students? writing competency and students? motivation in writing. Post-test only control group design was employed in this study. The experimental group was taught by mobile-assisted task-based learning while the control group was taught by non mobile-assisted task-based learning. A writing post-test and questionnaire were used to obtain the data and were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and MANOVA. The findings of the study revealed that (1) there was a significant effect of Mobile-assisted Task-based Learning on the students? writing competency; (2) there was a significant effect of Mobile-assisted Task-based Learning on the students? writing motivation; and (3) there was a simultaneous effect of Mobile-assisted Task-based Learning on the students? writing competency and students? motivation in writing. This study concluded that the use of mobile devices as a medium in the learning process is effective to enhance the students? writing competency and increase students? motivation in writing.
