Mobile application, communication skills, primary education.

The paper deals with mobile applications, which appear to be potentially suitable for supporting the development of student‘s communication skills. The article draws from a partial solution described in the dissertation thesis of the main author. Within this phase of the solution, a retrieval of potential mobile applications is carried out and suitable applications that can support the development of an individual‘s communication skills are selected. These will be then used for the purposes of the main research. Firstly, the paper gives an overview of the basic theoretical background. Secondly, it describes the process of selecting and testing the suitable mobile applications and thirdly it gives a detailed analysis of the selected applications. To select the suitable mobile applications, the authors determined specific factors which are described in detail further in the paper. The authors analyze selected applications, illustrate their nature and their possibilities of use during the development of the desired communication skills. The paper presents the parameters of application selection and subsequently discusses the results of the retrieval. Then the paper deals with the analysis of the selected mobile applications. The outputs of this paper will serve for further research purposes.
