When it comes to theories involved with the learning of language, with a particular reference to the learning of a foreign language, there are several issues involved. In many countries in this day and age, it is necessary for students to learn at least two languages, namely, their national language and inappropriate foreign language. Thus, no one can doubt the importance of improving language skills, and, in particular, a second language. But language acquisition is also an important area of scholarship, a subject with significant socio-linguistic, cognitive, and psychological dimensions. We have a lot more to learn about the mechanisms through which individuals acquire a second language, and how adults, or in this case, college students, learn foreign languages, and the most effective methods and approaches. One way of learning this is to review the most common problems in the ESL classroom in the Belgrade-based College of Sports and Health.

Keywords: language learning, foreign languages, second language acquisition, motivation, common problems.
