THE ROLE OF MOBILE APPLICATIONS IN ENHANCING FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING

Abstract

Abstract. Mobile apps are now a key part of learning new languages. From vocabulary trainers to AI chat tools, they let learners practice anytime and get instant feedback. This article looks at how such apps help build listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Drawing on studies by international experts and Russian researchers, it shows that mobile tools boost motivation and support long-term language growth when used alongside regular teaching. At the same time, issues like unequal access to technology and information overload remain challenges. The paper offers practical ideas for teachers who want to integrate mobile apps effectively into their language courses.
