LINGUISTIC AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF ENHANCING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LEARNING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE

Abstract

This article examines the multifaceted factors that enhance the effectiveness of learning English as a second language by integrating linguistic and psychological perspectives. The article analyzes key linguistic components including grammar, phonetics, vocabulary, and pragmatic competence, emphasizing their role in establishing a solid linguistic foundation. In addition, the research explores critical psychological elements such as learner motivation, anxiety reduction, selfregulatory strategies, and the impact of supportive teacher-student relationships on language acquisition. Through a comprehensive review of current literature and empirical evidence from diverse educational settings, the study demonstrates how these linguistic and psychological aspects interact to create a more engaging and productive learning environment. Innovative teaching strategies, including interactive classroom activities, the use of digital tools, and context-based learning approaches, are discussed as means to further enhance language proficiency. The findings indicate that an integrated approach addressing both cognitive and affective dimensions is essential for overcoming challenges inherent in second language learning. Practical recommendations for educators and curriculum developers are provided to optimize instructional methods and foster an atmosphere conducive to both academic achievement and personal growth among learners. Overall, this research offers valuable insights into advancing effective practices in second language education, contributing to the broader field of language pedagogy.
