Abstract
The rapid development of digital technologies has significantly influenced the educational process in higher education. Mobile applications have become an effective tool for enhancing language learning, especially for students in specialized fields such as economics. This study explores the role of mobile applications in teaching English to economics students and examines their effectiveness in improving vocabulary, communication skills, and learner motivation. The research was conducted among undergraduate economics students using several educational mobile applications over a period of three months. The results show that mobile learning increases student engagement, improves vocabulary acquisition related to economic terminology, and enhances overall language proficiency. The study concludes that integrating mobile applications into English language teaching can significantly support the learning process and make it more flexible and interactive.
