Smartphones have penetrated deeply into all aspects of our lives. Now, smartphones are our life partners that enable us to message via applications (apps), communicate on social media, share images and videos on Instagram or Snapchat, find easiest and fastest route through GPS, take or edit photos and videos, check email, take notes, read books, and play mobile games (Godwin-Jones, 2017). The impact of smartphones has also reached education and led to the development of countless language learning apps. Smartphones have become a fundamental tool for mobile assisted language learning (MALL). However, before merging this new technology with language education, it is critical to identify students' perception towards smartphone apps for English language learning (SAELL) and determinants affecting their acceptance of SAELL.

520 $a Smartphones have penetrated deeply into all aspects of our lives. Now, smartphones are our life partners that enable us to message via applications (apps), communicate on social media, share images and videos on Instagram or Snapchat, find easiest and fastest route through GPS, take or edit photos and videos, check email, take notes, read books, and play mobile games (Godwin-Jones, 2017). The impact of smartphones has also reached education and led to the development of countless language learning apps. Smartphones have become a fundamental tool for mobile assisted language learning (MALL). However, before merging this new technology with language education, it is critical to identify students' perception towards smartphone apps for English language learning (SAELL) and determinants affecting their acceptance of SAELL.
520 $a The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of Korean college students' experiences in using SAELL and to investigate factors affecting the students' intention to use SAELL, gender and academic major differences in acceptance of SAELL, as well as barriers to using SAELL. A quantitative method was used to analyze data collected from 675 participants in Korea. The result indicated that smartphones have already become a necessity for Korean college students and the majority of them (82.5 %) had previous experience using SAELL. Perceived usefulness, perceived convenience, social influence, perceived enjoyment, and self-management of learning were all significant factors that affect students' intention to use SAELL. Gender and academic major differences in acceptance of SAELL were also examined. Additionally, barriers to using SAELL were discussed in terms of pedagogical, psycho-social, and technical issues. Finally, this study discusses implications, limitations, and proposed areas for future study. This study adds to the knowledge of how to use smartphones for language learning and provides useful insights on the acceptance of SAELL.
