Teaching English in preschool education is one of the urgent issues today, and in this process it is important
to take into account children’s age, psychological, and emotional characteristics. The purpose of this study is to analyze
the psychological approaches used in teaching English in preschool education and to determine their impact on the
effectiveness of learning. The research employed pedagogical observation, comparison, a quasi-experimental approach,
pre-test and post-test assessment, as well as lesson techniques based on play, encouragement, visual materials, songs,
and movement. The results showed that classes based on psychological approaches are more effective than traditional
methods in increasing children’s vocabulary, developing listening comprehension skills, strengthening oral participation,
and enhancing their interest in English. In conclusion, the study confirms that teaching English in preschool education
produces better outcomes when it is organized in a child-centered, motivational, and psychologically supportive environment,
and such an approach should be widely applied in practice
