Resumen

This work proposes the design and development and validation of the mobile application Tsmene: aimed at preserving and rescuing the Bora language in times of pandemic, which currently faces extinction problems due to the few existing speakers. This work was carried out in the town of San Joaquín de Omaguas, located 64 km from the city of Iquitos. The application of the mobile device was carried out through traditional and experimental methodology in which the application was used. It has been validated that the use of a mobile application is more effective than traditional teaching, mainly in the learning of a native language.
