Absract. The article deals with the issue related to the application of pedagogical animation in English language teaching in the first grade. Emphasis is placed on enriching the pedagogical interaction with animated elements to stimulate the interest of young students in learning a foreign language. We lean on the fact that the animation approach involves the use of methods and forms based on learning through fun and experience, which have a strong motivating effect on learners. We are guided by the idea that animation as an approach forms an innovative learning environment in which effective training and upbringing takes place. Because of the research, we come to the summary that the use of pedagogical animation in learning English in the initial stage of education opens opportunities for developing communication skills in a foreign language and is a prerequisite for provoking the interest and curiosity of pupils to other languages. (Other than native), peoples and cultures.
Keywords: pedagogical animation; early foreign language training
