Abstract

A large number of examinations in the history of teaching of English language have encouraged a tendency to a good relationship between psychology and English language teaching. Both English language teaching and psychology are important for teaching English in order to increase the knowledge of language teachers and learners. It is fact that psychology may be used as devices to reinforce learning English and to motivate the English students. To understand what is meant by psychology factors we need to briefly consider psychological theories of language learning. This paper will consider educational psychology and approaches to psychology in the acquisition of second language. To illustrate the issue of this paper I will look at interlanguage theory in second language.
