Abstract
With the monumental increase in the use of smartphones, students have been observed to be using smartphones inside Japanese language classrooms. Using a smartphone in the class has been generally admitted so far, as it is said to help students with their studies. However, this study would like to examine the specific purpose for which students are resorting to their smartphones during the Japanese language class. In this study, a survey of Vietnamese students was conducted, with regard to the frequency and purpose of their usage of smartphones in the Japanese language classrooms. I have described the results of the survey in this report.
