THE APPLICATION OF SMARTPHONES IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING – SOME NEW INSIGHTS
Session
Education and Development
Description
Nowadays, smartphones are promoted as a very important tool of modern technologies, which is perceived and practiced by the young population, in our country and in the world, in which a particularly significant place is occupied by university students. Within this paper, the meaning, role and application of smartphones in the study of the English language in the higher education system is highlighted. The application of smartphones in the higher education process is indisputable, but in the conditions of individual universities in the Republic of North Macedonia, it is insufficiently researched. The model case presented in this paper has the function of popularizing the smartphone among university environments as a tool for learning English by students as recipients on the one hand and professors on the other. The University"Goce Delchev" in Shtip was taken as a target, where students from different faculties would express their experience in the application of smartphones in the study of the English language. The isolated hypotheses and the series of questions that emerge as models from the approach of affirming these extremely significant modern tools trace the educational path in the contemporary study of the English language at higher education institutions.

THE APPLICATION OF SMARTPHONES IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING – SOME NEW INSIGHTS
UBT Kampus, Lipjan
Nowadays, smartphones are promoted as a very important tool of modern technologies, which is perceived and practiced by the young population, in our country and in the world, in which a particularly significant place is occupied by university students. Within this paper, the meaning, role and application of smartphones in the study of the English language in the higher education system is highlighted. The application of smartphones in the higher education process is indisputable, but in the conditions of individual universities in the Republic of North Macedonia, it is insufficiently researched. The model case presented in this paper has the function of popularizing the smartphone among university environments as a tool for learning English by students as recipients on the one hand and professors on the other. The University"Goce Delchev" in Shtip was taken as a target, where students from different faculties would express their experience in the application of smartphones in the study of the English language. The isolated hypotheses and the series of questions that emerge as models from the approach of affirming these extremely significant modern tools trace the educational path in the contemporary study of the English language at higher education institutions.
