The high demand on the use of mobile devices like smart phones, Ipads, etc in daily life has given a rise to mobile learning in foreign language learning.

The study was designed according to pre-post control group quasi-experimental design. There were 20 students in each group whose English level was B2 at Bilkent University School of English Language. Data were collected through a vocabulary achievement test which was used as both pre and post tests. To collect in-depth information related to using mobile-based vocabulary notebooks, semi-structured interviews were also conducted with some students in the experimental group at the end of the study. The results were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics techniques. The quantitative data were analyzed through Mixed- ANOVA and independent samples Mann-Whitney U test and the qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis. The results of quantitative data indicated that mobile-based vocabulary notebooks have positive effects on students’ vocabulary achievement and the qualitative data analysis supported this finding as well.
