The modern epidemiological situation and the format of remote interaction determine the importance of including digital technologies in the formation of intercultural competence. The problems of obtaining the practice of oral foreign language communication, studying the norms of network etiquette, the rules of ethics, the basics of vocabulary and grammar, and the mechanisms of word formation are relevant. The purpose of the study is to identify the didactic opportunities of mobile applications and purposeful work with m-learning technologies for the formation of intercultural competence. The methodology is based on the analysis and generalization of scientific literature on m-learning, problems of learning in an online format. The provisions of the communicative activity-oriented approach are taken into account when integrating mobile applications into the subject-subject scheme of intercultural communication. The study uses empirical methods (testing, analysis of the results of working with mobile applications and MS Teams). The effectiveness of the proposed approach is confirmed by a pedagogical experiment, during which cognitive activity with mobile applications was organized within a specially developed module framework. Statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups in the level of intercultural competence were revealed. In the experiment, the T-test of Wilcoxon was used for processing. The results of the study described the didactic opportunities of mobile applications for involving students in active group interaction in a project, educational practice, professional self-presentation and intercultural foreign language communication. In conclusion, the conditions under which the integration of mobile applications in training will be most effective are summarized: the purposeful nature of work with m-learning technologies; collaboration of teachers of related disciplines; conscious participation of students at all stages of choosing and using a mobile application; creating mobile resource cases.
