Popis:	This study investigated the impact of mobile apps on language learning, focusing on the improvement of linguistic competencies and student motivation. Five popular applications (Duolingo, Babbel, Rosetta Stone, Memrise, and Busuu) were analyzed in an experimental group through standardized tests and qualitative evaluations, before and after a study period. The results showed that students who used these apps experienced significant improvements in their language skills compared to a control group. Interactivity, personalization and gamification were identified as the main contributions to these positive outcomes, with gamification highlighted as a crucial driver of motivation. Nonetheless, the study also emphasized the need for a more robust pedagogical design in the apps to equitably address all language areas.
