Annotation: The student's motivation in learning the subject is an important psychological factor in the study of any subject. Cognitive interest is an incentive that contributes to increasing the activity of students, improving their skills and abilities. Therefore, constant concern for the development of students' cognitive interest is one of the main responsibilities of every teacher. A number of factors form the cognitive interest of students, such as: the correct organization of the educational process, the relationship between the teacher and students, the individual characteristics of students, educating them in the need to acquire knowledge of English, the use of various forms of work in the classroom, and many others. Arousing interest in the subject being taught is a responsible and difficult task that requires the teacher’s enthusiasm, will, and pedagogical skill.
