Abstract

This study focused on difficulties that students face while mastering English. We were interested in their English skills, types of difficulties with learning English, and their emo-tional states caused by EFL issues. A total of 130 Kazakh stu-dents participated in this study. There were 60 females and 70 males in our sample. Participants' meanage was 19 and the standard deviation of their age was 1.16. Both quantitative and qualitative methodologies were utilized in order to answer the research questions. Descriptive statistical values were calcula-ted and some inferential statistical procedureswere conducted for the quantitative data. The most frequent EFL-related diffi-culty reported by students was the lack of vocabulary and the least frequent one was a set of problem with understanding ma-terials written in English. Self-reported English skills were not in a statistically significant correlation with the overall frequ-ency of difficulties encountered while mastering English.
