The teaching of English as a foreign language at the primary education level is a key factor in the development of young learners in Uzbekistan. As globalization and international communication increase, the importance of English proficiency is undeniable. However, teaching English to primary school students involves unique challenges, including the developmental stages of language acquisition, teacher qualifications, lack of resources, and student motivation. This article examines these challenges and presents practical, methodological solutions based on current pedagogical approaches and modern educational trends. The methodological focus on interactive, play-based learning, the integration of multimedia resources, and teacher training is critical to enhancing the quality of English language education for young learners.
