CHALLENGES OF READING SKILLS OF STUDENTS AT THE B1 LEVEL IN ENGLISH LESSONS THROUGH MOBILE APPLICATIONS

              The rapid integration of mobile technologies into language education has brought significant innovations in teaching and learning. However, the development of reading skills through mobile applications remains challenging, particularly for B1-level learners of English. This paper explores the linguistic, pedagogical, technological, and psychological challenges that students and teachers face when using mobile applications to enhance reading comprehension. Drawing on recent research in Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL), the study identifies key issues such as limited vocabulary, screen-related distractions, insufficient digital literacy, and the misalignment of mobile content with curriculum objectives. The paper concludes with recommendations for improving mobile-based reading instruction and calls for a more balanced, pedagogically informed integration of mobile technologies in English language teaching.
