The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the media influence the learning of the English language in preschool-aged children. The research presented in this paper shows that nowadays, media have an increasing impact on the overall development and upbringing of children. Television is one of the most influential media, with the internet and digital media such as computers, tablets, and mobile phones increasingly taking precedence. Media can have both positive and negative impacts on the upbringing and speech-language development of a child. This paper describes the speech-language development of a child, the importance of the English language, the positive and negative impacts of media on children's education, the influence of media on the acquisition of the English language, and the impact of one of the most influential media—television—on the acquisition of the English language among preschool-aged children. The significance of this paper is in highlighting the importance of media literacy as well as a stimulating environment and the development of digital competencies. Additionally, it addresses the importance of integrating multimedia sources such as educational videos, interactive applications, the importance of audiovisual books and the differences between formal and informal English language acquisition.
