Learning a second or foreign language may be a daunting task for anyone; however, learning a language that is vastly different from a person's native language can be extremely difficult. This is especially true in South Korea where English is taught and spoken as a foreign language. For Korean students, who typically study English from a young age, studying English is a large part of their lives, yet many students tend to display negative attitudes towards their studies. Another part of life in Korea centers on the use of smartphones. Various studies have been conducted exploring smartphone addiction modern society, and such addiction can be seen among young people in South Korea. The present study is a meeting of the two topics in the endeavor to use smartphones as a learning tool rather than a source of addiction. In this study, over 100 students attending a South Korean university were surveyed about their feelings and attitudes about studying English. Some of these students had the opportunity to use smartphone applications (apps) as a supplement in their classes. The results of this study revealed that many students understand that English is important, yet due to its difficulty, learning the language is not always an enjoyable activity. The findings of the study also indicated that smartphones can be used productively; however, this is only with proper and adequate preparation including the choice of the most desired and appropriate smartphone apps.
