Communication is an important aspect of everyday life. Knowing a foreign language can facilitate personal as well as professional development. The topic of this thesis is early English language acquisition. Being multilingual offers many benefits in child’s development such as improved concentration, improved schooling success, improvements in visual perception, improved memory and more. In order for such programs to be implemented in kindergartens, knowledge of a foreign language and the education of the persons who will implement it need to be emphasised. This thesis presents influences of multilingualism on person’s development, historical overview of second language acquisition theory as well as how to teach children a foreign language. Four kindergarten early English learning programmes are presented, three city and one private, in order to show current early English language acquisition programmes in Croatia. Semi-structured interview was used to collect the data. Results show that children show high levels of motivation when participating in this programme. Moreover, early language teaching in young children needs to be done through activities that involve high amounts of movement, dance and singing to keep learners’ interest and motivation high. However, lack of training given to kindergarten teachers as well as lack and obsolescence of materials given to them has negative repercussions on its success.
