Abstract

This article examines the concept of mobile learning (M-Learning), its pedagogical potential, and the ways in which mobile technologies enhance learners’ communication skills. Special attention is given to Duolingo, a popular language learning application, which demonstrates how mobile apps can provide personalized, interactive, and gamified learning experiences. The paper analyzes the theoretical foundations of mobile learning, the advantages of mobile technologies, and practical applications of Duolingo in developing learners’ vocabulary, grammar, and speaking skills.
