Abstract: The article aims to identify the social, psycholinguistic, motivational reasons for the difficulties that arise in the process of learning Kazakh as a second language. Since in the case of Kazakhstan there is a clear gap between the recognition of the state language?s status and the language?s active use in everyday communication, an empirical analysis of the factors influencing language learning is relevant. The article aims to identify social, psycholinguistic and motivational barriers that arise in the process of learning Kazakh as a second language, and the task is to substantiate effective methodological recommendations on artificial intelligence, aimed at improving the state language teaching based on the identified factors.The source of the study was the survey results conducted using Google Forms among 1st-year Russian-speaking students at a higher educational institution (N = 43). The collected data was processed using descriptive statistics and qualitative interpretation methods. The results showed that most participants did not master the Kazakh language fluently, proving that the Kazakh language is often perceived at a passive level and that active speaking skills are insufficiently developed. The main obstacles identified by the respondents were the lack of use of the Kazakh language at home, absence of a linguistic environment, the school education?s formal nature, and low intrinsic interest.
