The article reveals the issues related to the language learning environment as one of the main factors of successful and effective studying of ESL students. ESL students are focusing on acquiring knowledge that will meet the demands of modern society. Thus, teachers should provide students with an environment where they feel comfortable and safe. Moreover, such a positive environment should guarantee ESL students the opportunity for developing language skills and learning English without the challenges of an uncomfortable environment. The literature review showed that the conditions in which students learn the English language were the subject of numerous studies conducted by scientists from different countries. This article paves the way for expanding research on English language learning environments by analyzing the results of previous research in English classrooms and arranging a new study on English learning environments among students of the technical university in Ukraine. The study aimed to investigate the opinions of ESL students, who mostly have B1 level, on the impact of the learning environment on their achievements in language acquisition. 110 students of the technical university of Ukraine “KPI by I. Sikorsky” took part in the survey and gave responses on 12 questions of a survey. A positive learning environment is considered very important by most ESL students. The significance of modern technologies application in English lessons was proved and its influence on the perception of language by ESL students were discussed. Watching movies or DVDs were chosen by students as tools that should improve their language skills. The results of the study demonstrated the fact that ESL teachers should take into account the learning preferences of students which will provide much closer teacher-student interaction during the lesson that allows students to achieve their educational goals easily and faster. The vast majority of ESL students defined social interaction and motivation as the main factors which facilitate their learning of a foreign language.
