This article systematically reviews the literature on the Potential of using Smartphone in teaching and learning of English Language in secondary schools. It focuses on the benefits, perceptions, challenges, and solutions towards incorporating smartphones in secondary school education. Through online research, 9 empirical and theoretical articles, case studies, and surveys defending the use of a smartphone in teaching and learning of English language in secondary schools were analyzed. The results from the study show that smartphones do have potential at improving teaching and learning of English amongst the teachers and learners in secondary schools. However, it is revealed also that there is need to establish effective pedagogical ways of using the smartphones in order to reduce indiscipline, distraction, and cases of cyberbullying.
