Abstract :In the digital age, the demand for accessible, flexible, and pedagogically sound teacher education has intensified, yet mobile-based solutions tailored specifically for teacher training remain limited. This study proposes a mobile application model for English language teacher education, developed through expert consensus using the Delphi method. Eleven ELT specialists participated in three iterative rounds, beginning with open-ended questions and followed by systematic evaluation of proposed features. The initial analysis yielded 65 potential features, which were refined to 28 essential components through expert agreement. These features were categorized into design-related and content-related elements, emphasizing core language skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing), adaptable content for diverse contexts, and the need for a user-friendly, technically robust interface). Findings offer a validated, pedagogically grounded foundation for developing mobile applications tailored to English language teacher training.
