TEACHING AND LEARNING ENGLISH THROUGH MOBILE APPLICATIONS
Аннотация
The article presents a research study conducted to examine the effectiveness of mobile devices in teaching and learning English from the perspective of university students. The research aimed to investigate the interest of students in using mobile apps for learning English, explore the potential of educational applications downloaded on students' mobile phones, and assess the integration of mobile devices into classroom activities at university for English language learning. The study collected responses from students studying at the university located in Atyrau through an online questionnaire created using Google Forms. The responses were analyzed by the authors, and follow-up interviews were conducted with a subset of students to link the reported mobile device use to its actual use for language learning. The article proposes that the use of mobile devices as an educational tool in the process of university study has the potential to expand perceptions of tutorial experience in teaching and learning English. In general, the use of mobile devices as an educational tool in university education has become increasingly common in recent years. Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets offer students and educators the flexibility to access course materials, participate in collaborative activities, and communicate with each other anytime, anywhere. It is important to ensure that mobile devices are integrated into the curriculum thoughtfully and intentionally, taking into account the specific needs and goals of the students and the course.
