Abstract

At present, modern information technologies are part and parcel of everyday life. Young people consider them as natural as breathing. And mobile applications are no exception. Research indicates that the use of smartphone apps is effective in the teaching of English at university level, especially in the teaching of English vocabulary. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to discuss a mobile application for the teaching of English whose content corresponds to the needs of its users. The mobile application was designed for and piloted among students of Management of Tourism in their third year of study. The authors describe both technical and content issues of this application. The first results indicate that the use of the mobile application is considered to be positive since the application is interactive and enables faster and more efficient learning.
