Abstract
The article explores the nuances of instructing a foreign language for middle-aged individuals, essentially adults. The essential pedagogical conditions for efficient learning of a foreign language for adult students were analyzed and identified, because successful language acquisition for middle-aged people can be aided by suitable pedagogical settings, which the teacher must provide. Scientifically, it has been proven that people who learn foreign languages in the middle age do not attain identical heights and results as teenagers or students below middle age. As a result, the majority of scientists claim that in a middle-aged person, the brain perceives information much more slowly, and memorizing and learning words or grammar of a new language cause many difficulties, but there are scientists who believe that this information is not valid for the truth, that everything depends on the person himself and his interest in learning the language. The article also considers aspects of resolving this issue and explaining both of these statements.
