MOBILE LEARNING AT ENGLISH LESSONS TO FORM THE PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

This article is devoted to studying the prospects of integrating mobile applications at the lessons, as well as in independent work on English teaching students of non-linguistic specialties of the university. We have carried out experimental - experimental work, aimed at researching and evaluating the possibilities of using mobile applications for classroom and independent study of English by students. An analysis of the questionnaire revealed a positive attitude of the first- second year students of various specialties and different levels of English proficiency towards the use of mobile applications not only in the classroom, but also during independent work, as well as the basic functions of the mobile application that fully satisfy the needs of students . In addition to questionnaires, an experiment was conducted in the control and experimental groups in order to identify the effectiveness of a mobile application using in teaching professional vocabulary in English. The results of this research can contribute to the practice of using mobile learning, as well as expand the opportunities for universities to integrate mobile learning in the process of learning English.
