Universal apps for learning English
Let's start with English self-teaching apps. Of course, they will not replace your textbook or ours, but they will help diversify your learning. These apps have options to work on all English language skills: reading, listening, writing and speaking. Let's name the 2 most popular applications.
1. Lingualeo 
Perhaps one of the best applications for learning English. Most of the exercises are completely free to work with. A paid account is inexpensive and allows you to take special grammar courses and also gives access to additional types of exercises. A free account will allow you to learn new words, hone your spelling skills, watch videos with subtitles, analyze song lyrics, etc.
What's good about Lingualeo? The authors have created a system that itself determines your weaknesses and strengths and develops a training program for you. All you have to do is follow the recommendations provided. Is it difficult to force yourself to study? The authors of the application took care of this too: a motivation system has also been developed for you. You need to feed Leo the Lion Cub with meatballs every day - complete tasks. If you study for 5 days in a row, you will receive a small but nice prize, for example, activation of a premium account for a day. The application works stably, there is a version for Android and iOS.
2. Duolingo 
With this free app you can learn not only English, but also German, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. It can be used as an additional guide with exercises for those learning English from scratch. An Internet connection is only needed to download the next stage. The course is divided into stages according to the principle “from simple to complex”. If you know the basics of the language, pass the initial stages early and move straight to the next level.
What's good about Duolingo? All skills are trained here: written and oral speech (you will be asked to pronounce the phrases you have learned), reading and listening. The program works stably. There is a version for Android and iOS. Do you often forget about classes? The famous green owl will encourage you to study every day. Don't refuse her!

You watch TV to turn off your brain, you work on the computer when you want to turn on your brain.
Applications for remembering English words
There are hundreds of different apps for learning English words on the Internet for Android and iPhone. We have selected the most popular and interesting programs that we recommend using in the process of learning the language. These apps work in much the same way: each word is trained in several different ways. We recommend that you study them daily and do not forget to periodically review the vocabulary you have learned. In one of our articles we said, try using the suggested techniques.
1. Easy Ten for or iOS. And also Fun easy learn English for Android or Words for iOS 
Each of these applications contains several thousand words in English. All words are divided into groups and subgroups, each subgroup contains 5-10 words. This vocabulary will be developed through several types of tasks. You will need to select a picture for the word, translate it into Russian, write it under dictation, insert the missing letters into it, etc. Thus, you repeat the word several times, remember its sound and spelling.
2. Anki flashcards
This application for learning English words is available in versions for Android and iOS. Flashcards are a modern analogue of classic flashcards for learning English words on your tablet and phone. You get rid of the need to search for words yourself, because you will be offered ready-made sets for downloading. At the same time, you can make your own sets of flashcards if you want to learn specific words. It is much more convenient to work with such a proposal than with a stack of pieces of paper. Moreover, the application has a spaced repetition function: the program will make sure that you do not forget to repeat the learned vocabulary.
How to break the language barrier using a gadget
The best way to learn to speak English is with an interlocutor. Breaking the language barrier using a gadget is quite difficult. However, there are tricks that can help you keep your speaking skills up to par.
1. We talk on Skype 
What progress has come... Now online communication is available both through a computer and through a smartphone or tablet. If the characteristics of the device allow and the communication quality is acceptable, you will be able to communicate with the interlocutor. Where to find a “victim” to talk to?
- search on special sites like italki.com or polyglotclub.com;
- look for an interlocutor among sociable friends or colleagues who are learning the language;
- communicate with the teacher at our school. Of course, in this case it is better to conduct lessons using a computer, but if circumstances force you, you can also study on a mobile device
2. Repeat phrases after native speakers
Found an interesting video in English? Want to talk like the people in the video? Then turn on the recording and repeat the phrases after the characters. Sentences spoken several times will be stored in your memory, and later you will be able to use them in speech.
How to improve your listening comprehension of English using a gadget
1. Listen to podcasts and audio lessons
3. Listen to songs in English 
This is rather entertainment, but your favorite songs can help you learn to understand English by ear. If you listen to a song and study its lyrics at the same time, the entertainment will turn into a fun listening exercise. In addition, you can learn a couple of new words, which will not be superfluous at all. You can study the lyrics of the songs on the sites azlyrics.com or amalgama-lab.com.
How to learn English grammar on a tablet and phone
1. We work on special applications 
Grammar in your pocket is not the name of the next bestseller from the “How to learn English in 3 hours” series, but our reality. To use all the rules of English “automatically”, you need to practice them as often as possible. And special applications for learning English will help you with this, for example, Johnny Grammar for iOS.
2. Testing our knowledge
All kinds of tests and online exercises give us a unique opportunity to test ourselves and discover weaknesses in our knowledge of grammar. We wrote an article. Create bookmarks for yourself and periodically visit these resources, test your knowledge and receive guidance for action. And for application lovers, we can recommend doing tests in Learn English Grammar, English Grammar Practice, Practice English Grammar, LearnEnglish Grammar.
3. Use a grammar book
The time of bulky textbooks is gradually passing. Today you can use electronic versions of famous publications and learn English using a mobile device. Not navigating the sea of benefits? We have written a review for you, choose a suitable assistant from there. Moreover, there are special textbook applications that you can use on your smartphones and tablets.
4. Watch video tutorials 
Do you watch videos on YouTube? Use this resource for good purposes: watch wonderful videos from native speakers, for example, this channel. Teacher Ronnie presents grammar simply and tastefully, you will be able to understand a difficult topic and at the same time practice your English listening skills. So, learning English grammar on your phone and tablet will definitely not seem boring to you.
How to improve your reading skills using mobile devices
1. Read the news 
Reading news in English is a relatively simple but very rewarding task. Compared to reading fiction, it takes little time, but you can not only read in English, but also learn new words, as well as the latest events in the world. We recommend using the Newsroom apps: News Worth Sharing or BBC News for Android and Newsy or BBC News for iOS.
2. Read books
On public transport we often see people sitting with their noses buried in a book. This is a smart way to isolate yourself from others and make productive use of your time spent on the road. We recommend doing the same, and at the same time choosing the right “reading material” - books in English. For convenience, we recommend installing the reading application Moon+Reader for Android and iBooks for iOS. Where can I get the books themselves? Our article “” contains links to free libraries with adapted books and works in the original.
3. Read magazines
Do you like to read glossy magazines? You can do this on a smartphone or tablet and in English. Android owners should install the Google Play Press app to access a variety of English-language magazines. iOS owners have the Kiosk application pre-installed on their device, which allows you to download newspapers and magazines from this section.
4. Read articles on the Internet 
We think that today it is almost impossible to find a person who does not use his mobile device to access the Internet. And this is good, because on the World Wide Web you will find wonderful, interesting, useful articles in English. Choose the topic yourself, the main thing is to read, preferably for at least 10-15 minutes every day. We recommend that people with an initial level of knowledge pay attention to the website rong-chang.com, there are a lot of simple texts collected there. With an intermediate level and above, you can read articles on the website english-online.at.
5. Read interesting posts
And this “reading” is suitable for those who have a minimum of free time. Follow English learner accounts on Instagram or Twitter and read their posts. You will find both notes in English and tips for learning the language useful. For example, you can subscribe to our

PREFACE
Teaching and monitoring programs in English grammar are intended for university students of non-linguistic faculties. The main goal of the manual is the practical development or repetition of grammatical models of the English language in comparison with the grammatical norms of the Russian language to ensure the formation of students' educational activities in the process of performing grammatical actions.
The training program /A/ provides an algorithm for grammatical phenomena, which makes it possible to extremely formalize the presentation of the material, activate the independent work of students and, using the monitoring program /B/, provide feedback. The tasks are carried out mainly by compiling matrices - choosing the correct correspondences, translation equivalents or analogues.
Working on material of the receptive /A/ and reproductive /B/ types allows the student to assess the degree of perception and assimilation of a grammatical phenomenon by checking his answer using the key. Assignments can be completed through independent / classroom or extracurricular /, pair and group work.
Steps to complete the work: read program A, paying attention to the underlined English words and their Russian translation, equivalent; close the right side of the sheet and translate the English sentences from memory; close the left side of the sheet, translate the Russian model into English, repeat the translations if necessary; proceed to program B; check the correctness of the tasks for the /B/ keys.
Score: 20% failure - 4 points; 40% - 3 points; 60% - 2 points.

I. Explanatory note
Successful acquisition of knowledge in the primary grades of a general education school is impossible without children’s interest in learning. The main form of education at school is the lesson. The strict framework of the lesson and the richness of the program do not always allow us to answer children’s questions, show them the richness of the Russian language, and reveal many of its “secrets”. In this case, the “Gramatey” course comes to the rescue, which is a natural continuation of the lesson, its addition. The course program is compiled in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard for Primary General Education.
The inclusion of entertaining elements is mandatory for classes with primary schoolchildren. At the same time, the widespread use of game elements should not reduce the teaching, developmental, educational role of “entertaining grammar” classes.
When selecting material for classes, the teacher should focus on connections with program material in the Russian language, taking into account the need for continuity between the primary and secondary levels.
The program of this course allows you to show students how fascinating, diverse, and inexhaustible the world of words, the world of Russian literacy is. This is of great importance for the formation of genuine cognitive interests as the basis of educational activities. In the process of studying grammar, schoolchildren can see the “magic of familiar words”; understand that ordinary words are worthy of study and attention. Cultivating interest in “entertaining grammar” should awaken in students the desire to expand their knowledge of the Russian language and improve their speech.
Knowledge of the Russian language creates conditions for successful mastery of all academic subjects. Without good command of words, no cognitive activity is possible. Therefore, special attention in “Gramateki” classes should be paid to tasks aimed at developing students’ oral and written speech, and at cultivating their sense of language. The educational potential of the Russian language as an academic subject will be realized to a greater extent if we strengthen the work on instilling ethical standards of speech behavior in younger schoolchildren.
It is advisable to work on developing communication ethics with younger schoolchildren, starting from the first year of study. To do this, it is necessary to use role-playing games in the classroom. It is advisable to carry out work on developing correct speech behavior in all classes. In addition, the Grammar course allows you to work not only on phonemes and parts of speech, but also on the development of correct speech.
To successfully conduct classes, various types of work are used: game elements, games, didactic and handout material, proverbs and sayings, physical education lessons, rhymes, counting rhymes, rebuses, crosswords, puzzles, grammatical fairy tales. Most didactic material is given in poetic form, which makes it easier to assimilate and remember.
