Foreign Language Learning in Children with Language Impairments

This thesis focuses on language development, i.e. the problems that occur during this process – the so-called language impairments in children who attend elementary school. Most of the children learn languages other than their first language in schools from the first grade, and one of these languages is the English language. There are children with language impairments of various kinds who face problems in speaking, reading and writing, or in the comprehension of their first language. Thus, it can be concluded that they would face the same or similar problems while learning or acquiring a second or a foreign language. The aim of this thesis is therefore to see which problems, errors and difficulties occur in children with language impairments who learn English as a foreign language in school, with the purpose of raising awareness of the difficulties children with language impairments face in Croatian schools.
