Summary/Abstract: As the title of this paper says, the paper deals with the research of early English language learning with the assistance of information technologies in five elementary schools in Osijek. Nevertheless, it is well known that nowadays it is impossible to do any kind of job either without being able to use a computer, or speak English. English language has been used as a main language of international communication for a long time, and as such, it has been the obligatory foreign language in schools. However, as regards to its importance, a long time ago it became inevitable to introduce English language learning even in kindergartens, and due to the fact that today’s generations of children start using a computer from the early age, the computer serves as a good tool in learning in general sense, i.e. in English language learning. Hence, due to certain restrictions, it is not possible to satisfy the need for the use of computers in the process of education, which is also confirmed by the research conducted in this paper.
