BYOD applications for classroom teaching of foreign languages

Abstract

The given paper looks at the Bring-Your-Own-Device approach, a constituent concept of mobile learning. Despite the numerous advantages of BYOD in various educational contexts, the integration of mobile technologies in foreign language classes in non-language universities presents significant challenges. This paper examines certain problems related to the use of BYOD in foreign language classes at non-language universities and proposes a set of criteria for selecting the most effective mobile applications. In addition, practical aspects of implementing BYOD in the context of foreign language learning are considered. Analysis of research results shows that for successful implementation of mobile learning, the task of selecting mobile applications should be based on learning objectives and conform to the concept of BYOD. Furthermore, ensuring appropriate support for BYOD can significantly improve the quality of the learning process and help develop the skills and competencies of students necessary for their future careers.
