| Abstract | ABSTRACT : This investigation aimed to identify the areas of difficulty in the teaching and learning of English as a foreign language in the primary cycle in the State of Bahrain; and subsequently at suggesting solutions for better teaching and learning of English at this level. Chapter One includes the purpose of the study, a number of queries related to teaching and learning English in the primary cycle in Bahrain, and the facts on which these queries are dependent. This chapter also involves the status of English internationally, the current status of English in Bahrain, the objectives, the use, and limitations of the study. In Chapter Two, the geographical, historical, and economic background of the State of Bahrain, as well as the development of education and its administrative system, together with the place of English in relation to the education system in Bahrain, are discussed. The teaching of English in the education system in the State of Bahrain (primary, intermediate, and secondary schools, and higher education) is described in Chapter Three Related studies and literature are reviewed in Chapters 4, 5, 6, and 7. In Chapter Four, similar studies that have dealt with the language difficulties of Arab learners of English, together with other factors affecting the learning of English as a foreign language, are reviewed While Chapter Five examines the general theories of language learning and the factors affecting the acquisition of the first language and the learning of a foreign language. A number of methods of teaching English as a foreign language are discussed in Chapter Six, particularly the Communicative Approach, which is recommended by authorities in the Ministry of Education, Bahrain. Chapter Seven examines the importance of classroom language for teaching and learning English and the methods of analyzing it. It also includes a model of a classroom language course.
