During the coronavirus pandemic, many people have been in a situation where their reliance on and use of the media has increased significantly, either for entertainment purposes during their free time or because they had to do their job or schoolwork using computers or other media. Kindergartens were among the few educational institutions that were the least affected by the lockdown during the pandemic, but even though the lockdown period was the shortest for them, children’s use of various media has increased during that period. Media are the future, and we cannot escape them, but what we can do is control the media content used by children. Media indeed can have a positive effect on children’s development in general as well as their language development provided the content they are exposed to has an educational purpose and provided that adults discuss with the children the media content to which they have been exposed. Since English is the most widespread language in the world of media, it is likely that media use will facilitate the acquisition of that language. This thesis discusses a potential effect of the Covid-19 pandemic and consequently, the media, on children’s language development. The thesis presents some advantages and disadvantages of early foreign language learning and acquisition as well as positive and negative media influence on children’s language development, especially during the pandemic. The final chapter brings the opinions of two kindergarten teachers working in an EFL programme about a possible impact of the pandemic and the media on children’s language development.
