Ключевое слово: «climate change»

This article is devoted to the urgent problem of creating pedagogical software tools. Creating a mobile application for learning a foreign language is a challenge of modern life. The purpose of this study is to develop a mobile application for English language learners aged 7 to 12 years old, based on a fairy tale of his own composition about the polar bear Kolyma. This fairy tale will draw attention to such problems of the Arctic region as climate change and the associated disappearance of rare animals. The hypothesis of the study is that the new application will help children not only improve their English language proficiency, but also expand their knowledge of problematic environmental topics. In the course of the study, a survey was conducted on the use of mobile applications for learning languages among schoolchildren of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Then, future analogues of mobile applications were analyzed in terms of their content and ca-pabilities. Thanks to this, we were able to find the features of our mobile application for English language learners. It was decided that the application would consist of a fairy tale reading mode, self-test games and a custom dictionary.
