Use of a mobile learning application in the process of foreign vocabulary learning

Mobile devices and applications (apps), which have become an integral part of our lives, are gradually used for different purposes, including learning languages. Since vocabulary plays an important role in the process of foreign language learning, the aim of this study is to explore the use of the mobile application called Angličtina Today and its usefulness in learning English with special focus on developing vocabulary. The research was conducted at the Secondary vocational school of gastronomy and tourism, in Slovakia. Different quantitative and qualitative methods were used during the research period, and the results obtained showed that students using the mobile application achieved better results than students exposed to the traditional learning methods. At the same time, students' general satisfaction with using the mobile application was confirmed.
