Abstract

English as a foreign language instruction has always been a fundamental matter all over the world and the current study examined the implementation of English language in primary school with focusing on the obstacles that studying two new foreign languages would have on primary school pupils. The study explored both the challenges and the difficulties that EFL teachers and pupils face during the teaching and the learning process. The study looked at both the obstacles and difficulties that EFL teachers and learners encounter during the teaching and learning process. The investigation study used various data collection tools and methods based on quantitative and qualitative data, which was gathered through a questionnaire addressed to parents of third-year pupils and observations for third-year pupils both of them were conducted at El Amir Abd El Kader Primary School in El Biodh, as well as an interview designed for English teachers in various primary schools in El Biodh.
