The article aims to study and compare the efficiency and effectiveness of podcasts and mobile applications in the study of the German language by students of the faculty of linguistics. The research involved several key stages: (1) studying scientific publications that demonstrate the experience of using the studied methods in teaching a foreign language in university; (2) selecting a sample from the 2- and the 3-year students of the faculty of linguistics, Philology; (3) the diagnostic stage that includes testing to identify the level of knowledge of students and dividing participants into groups according to the test results; (4) the forming stage that presupposes studying with the use of podcasts and a mobile application; and (5) the final stage with re-testing followed by quantitative and qualitative analysis of the research results. It has been discovered that podcasts and the mobile application have a higher efficiency of learning a foreign language, compared to the method of traditional home assignment. At the same time, podcasts are more effective in developing students’ communicative competence, enriching vocabulary and improving the knowledge of orthoepic standards of the German language, while the mobile application showed the best results in developing students’ grammar, spelling and punctuation skills.
