The use of mobile learning applications in the learning process has considerably changed the functioning of learning environments. At this point, the individuals’ readiness and motivation level to use technological tools and their acceptance level for mobile learning tools become important. It was aimed in this study to investigate the effect of mobile-assisted teaching on success-oriented motivations of students and their acceptance levels for mobile learning tools through “Edmodo” application as well as taking the opinions of experimental group students. In order to collect the quantitative data, the pre-test post-test control group quasi-experimental design was employed while the focus group interview was used to obtain the qualitative data. The study group consisted of 1st grade university students who take Turkish language course. In the study, it was concluded that the mobile-assisted teaching (Edmodo) significantly increased both students' motivation and their acceptance level for mobile learning tools; however, it was found out that the current program has not brought about any significant difference.
