Abstract
The article reveals the issues related to the \nlanguage learning environment as one of the \nmain factors of successful and effective studying of ESL students. ESL students are focusing on acquiring knowledge that will meet the \ndemands of modern society. Thus, teachers \nshould provide students with an environment \nwhere they feel comfortable and safe. Moreover, such a positive environment should guarantee ESL students the opportunity for developing \nlanguage skills and learning English without \nthe challenges of an uncomfortable environment. The literature review showed that the \nconditions in which students learn the English \nlanguage were the subject of numerous studies conducted by scientists from different countries. This article paves the way for expanding \nresearch on English language learning environments by analyzing the results of previous \nresearch in English classrooms and arranging \na new study on English learning environments \namong students of the technical university in \nUkraine. The study aimed to investigate the \nopinions of ESL students, who mostly have B1 \nlevel, on the impact of the learning environment \non their achievements in language acquisition. 110 students of the technical university \nof Ukraine “KPI by I. Sikorsky” took part in the \nsurvey and gave responses on 12 questions of \na survey. A positive learning environment is considered very important by most ESL students. \nThe significance of modern technologies application in English lessons was proved and its \ninfluence on the perception of language by ESL \nstudents were discussed. Watching movies or \nDVDs were chosen by students as tools that \nshould improve their language skills. The results \nof the study demonstrated the fact that ESL \nteachers should take into account the learning preferences of students which will provide \nmuch closer teacher-student interaction during \nthe lesson that allows students to achieve their \neducational goals easily and faster. The vast \nmajority of ESL students defined social interaction and motivation as the main factors which \nfacilitate their learning of a foreign language.
