Mobile technologies as a teaching tool of a foreign language at a nonlinguistic university

Teaching a new digital generation of students requires a deep understanding of the content and resources of the educational process. Recently, at higher education institutions, both in our country and abroad, a great deal of attention has been paid to mobile learning technologies. The study analyzes the research results of a number of foreign and Russian scientists and practitioners on the introduction of mobile technologies in teaching a foreign language at a nonlinguistic university. The authors also describe and systematize a large arsenal of various mobile applications used in their teaching practice. The paper presents the results of the SWOT analysis, which identifies the advantages and disadvantages, prospects and difficulties of mobile technologies, and gives practical recommendations for their use in teaching a foreign language at a nonlinguistic university.
