Abstract: The article discusses the psychological characteristics related to the acquisition of the English language by young schoolchildren. It highlights that during the second stage of childhood, which corresponds to the early school years, a new and significant phase begins in children’s lives. They transition from play activities to learning activities. Several changes occur in their school life, and these changes are also reflected in the way young schoolchildren acquire language. Although they learn a foreign language with interest, they face several challenges. These challenges manifest in phonetics, syntax, and orthoepy. The article also explains the nature of the difficulties young schoolchildren face in acquiring the language. It is noted that the reasons for these difficulties are related to physiological and psychological factors. Some children show signs of dyslalia and dyslexia. For children with speech problems, priority should be given to the practical acquisition of speech to expand their capabilities in this area.
