The emergence of mobile technological devices has brought along new possibilities to all walks of life in various communities. As mobile devices with highest capabilities extend into all areas of human life, they also affected language learning and mobile education. There are many mobile applications created for most of the major languages in the world and lesser amount is available for the far less used languages. Iban language is an example of those languages given far less attention as it is not as practical as other world languages. Iban language has been chosen to be implemented as a multimedia-based mobile application to promote language learning due to its richness in unique culture and language. The application, I-MMAPPS for learning Iban language was designed and developed by adopting conversational method and constructivism learning theory to provide learners a different approach in learning language based on various environments and situations. Since Iban pronunciations are different from any Malaysians local dialects, thus the correct pronunciations are vital to assist the learners. 30 non native speakers were chosen to test the application. The outcomes of this research shown that, most of the respondents were satisfied when they learn Iban language using the application. This application also has a promising development in future research. © 2015 Penerbit UTM Press. All rights reserved.
