This study examines the effect of English vocabulary learning through utilizing Social Network Services incorporating visual aids including Classting and Socrative on second grade high school students. The study analyzes both groups’ English vocabulary ability as well as the experiment group’s learning attitude toward the method of English vocabulary acquisition and the ways of utilizing mobile devices. The result of this study indicated that using SNS applications incorporating visual aids can significantly enhance the students’ English vocabulary ability. Moreover, it had a positive influence on the experimental group’s affective aspects, especially on their confidence. With the help of the mobile devices, students can learn the target vocabulary words and expressions anytime and anywhere. Based on the results, the need to combine voice files, the optimum learning conditions for S-learning, and the need to discuss words that are difficult to express in pictures were suggested.
