The invention, rapid spread and continuous improvement of new smartphone devices has led to the emergence of new software – mobile applications. Mobile applications of an educational nature quickly gained popularity and became widely used in teaching foreign languages. We believe that many of the existing mobile applications can be used as a variety of language trainers. By multimedia language training, we mean a digital tool aimed at the formation and consolidation of certain language and speech skills, which can be used both in self-study of a foreign language and under the guidance of a teacher. According to a number of researchers, a language trainer must have an automated system for checking the proposed tasks. Foreign mobile applications can be used very limited and are more suitable for the formation of linguistic competence at levels A1-B1. Russian mobile applications are undoubtedly better and more effective than foreign ones. They can be successfully used as language trainers in preparation for exams on TRKI and, if necessary, training foreign speakers in accordance with the requirements of the international level system from A1 to B1. Unfortunately, there are currently no high-quality mobile language trainers aimed at teaching Chinese students taking into account their national language and culture. We believe that the creation of such language trainers would be very promising and productive at the present time.
Key words: mobile application, language trainer, Russian as a foreign language, multimedia technologies
