This article examines the theoretical and practical aspects of integrating modern mobile applications and digital technologies into the process of teaching English. The role of digital learning tools in enhancing learners’ motivation, improving language skills, supporting independent study, and ensuring an individualized learning approach is analyzed on the basis of academic sources and empirical observations. In addition, the pedagogical advantages of mobile learning, the influence of interactive content on language acquisition, and the potential of multimedia resources in developing listening comprehension and vocabulary knowledge are discussed extensively. The study also explores the teacher’s role in a digital environment, monitoring mechanisms, the application of adaptive learning systems, and the development of students’ digital competence. The findings indicate that mobile applications significantly increase the effectiveness of English language instruction, strengthen learners’ interest in the language, and contribute to the personalization of the learning process.
