With the various platforms resulting from the rise in mobile technology, Smart Leaming (SL) has become a new trend in education. This study explores how students perceive and use SL in their English learning. A total of 238 students from a cyber university with a Smart Campus participated in the research. A questionnaire was developed to collect information on issues related to SL. According to the findings, more than half of the students considered SL to be necessary and helpful, especially in speaking and listening courses. The respondents identified mobility as the strongest point of SL, and answered that they wanted to mix SL and e-Learning in their English study. They also reported that they had difficulty because of the size of the screen in SL and the university should develop more diverse educational contents and language practice software for SL. The results also emphasized the need to develop English teaching methods for SL, solve technical problems of the Smart Campus, improve functions of SL English contents, and provide more support systems. Based on these results, specific suggestions were made for the effective utilization of SL.
