Abstract : Abstract Internet capable mobile-phones are being hailed by many as a profound and an effective tool for learning vocabulary, grammar and language skills. The most important aspect of Internet mobile-phones is that they can be used anytime and anywhere. In a hectic and busy life, Internet capable mobile phones have proved to be a boon especially for working class EFL learners who are pursuing their higher studies online. The major aim of this study is to ascertain how effective the use of Internet capable mobiles is in learning and retaining vocabulary. Three surveys were conducted on working class Saudi EFL learners at JCC, King Abdul Aziz University, KSA. The first survey was aimed to find out the homogeneity of working class Saudi EFL learners. The second survey was conducted to explore their attitudes towards the importance & relevance of Internet capable mobiles in learning vocabulary and third survey was to measure the effectiveness of Internet cables mobiles in learning and retaining vocabulary. The third survey was contrastive in nature. It was based on two methods such as traditional method and Internet mobile assisted language learning (MALL) method. The score of learners in learning and retaining vocabulary through MALL method was found much higher than that of the learners of traditional method. Hence it can be deduced that Internet capable mobile-phone is an effective tool for learning vocabulary online and if EFL learners use this device frequently, they can learn different types of vocabulary used in different contexts and use them efficiently in different situations.
