Abstract

Learning a new language involves a complex interplay of cognitive, emotional, and social factors. For Uzbek speakers, acquiring English presents unique psychological and linguistic challenges shaped by differences in grammar, pronunciation, writing systems, and cultural contexts. Understanding these difficulties from a psychological perspective can help learners, teachers, and curriculum developers create more effective strategies for mastering English.
