    In language learning, the method of spaced repetition has gained significant importance. It is undoubtedly a learning technique that can greatly enhance students' vocabulary and grammar acquisition. Spaced repetition allows to improve students' long-term retention of the language content they study enhancing language learning through active engagement, repetition, and visual aids. The effectiveness of spaced repetition as a method of improving English language acquisition was investigated by the authors of the paper. The participants of the research were students at the National Technical University of Ukraine "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute." The experiment involved 76 students, who were divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group applied spaced repetition to their vocabulary and grammar learning, while the control group continued their studies according to the traditional syllabus without the use of spaced repetition. To assess the impact of spaced repetition, both groups took the same test before and after the experiment. The pre-test served to establish a baseline measurement of each student's vocabulary and grammar proficiency, allowing for a direct comparison of progress made during the study. The post-test, conducted at the end of the experiment, aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the spaced repetition method by measuring any improvements in language skills. Data was collected through a combination of online surveys and a Likert scale questionnaire. The results demonstrated that the majority of students in the experimental group, who consistently used spaced repetition, reported significant improvements in their language skills, as evidenced by higher scores on the postexperiment test. In contrast, the control group showed less pronounced progress, highlighting the added value of spaced repetition in language learning. The findings underline the versatility and effectiveness of spaced repetition, especially when integrated into the daily learning process. This method not only proved its effectiveness for memorization but also enhanced the practical application of language skills, leading to more confident and accurate communication in English. Additionally, students in the experimental group reported positive impacts on their motivation and time management, further supporting the potential of spaced repetition as a powerful tool for language education across various linguistic fields.

    There has been significant progress in understanding and addressing students' speaking fears in language teaching and learning. Nevertheless, there are still several issues that need to be addressed. The article explores students’ fears in ESL classrooms and suggests strategies to manage those fears as impediments to learning progress. A survey was conducted with the aim of getting a comprehensive understanding of the most common fears of students, namely fear of making mistakes and being corrected, fear of speaking in class, and fear of falling behind in studies. The survey consisted of questions focused on gathering insights from the students regarding their learning experience and fears related to speaking. The survey findings showed that students have different fears and stressed the importance and need to explore effective strategies to address those issues. Overall, the results suggest that the students struggle emotionally in ESL speaking lessons, as well as recognize the significance of feelings and emotions for their academic and personal growth. The study results provided useful insights into students’ prevalence of fears in ESL classrooms, which included fear of making mistakes, fear of speaking in front of a teacher and peers, fear of negative evaluation, and fear of falling behind. Considering that students’ fears have a negative effect on learning outcomes and impede advancement in language learning, it is extremely important to examine effective teaching strategies to alleviate students’ fears and help them build confidence in their speaking skills. The article reviews several strategies for teachers to support their students and develop their confidence in ESL speaking lessons. Among the suggested strategies are implementing delayed correction to deal with the fear of speaking and making mistakes, peer interaction, and feedback to help students gain confidence and promote a supportive learning atmosphere.
