    This study investigates the advantages of utilizing positive reinforcement in language acquisition, focusing on first-year English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in tertiary education. The aim is to explore how positive reinforcement strategies contribute to enhancing linguistic competence, motivation, and overall learning outcomes among first-year EFL learners. Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys administered to both students and teachers, the study examines the perceptions and experiences of 30 first-year EFL learners regarding the use of positive reinforcement in their language learning journey. Additionally, teacher perspectives are gathered to gain insights into the implementation of positive reinforcement strategies in the classroom. The data collection tools consist of surveys designed to assess students' and teachers' perceptions of the effectiveness of positive reinforcement techniques in language acquisition. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the benefits of positive reinforcement in EFL education and offer practical implications for educators aiming to create a supportive and empowering learning environment for first-year EFL students
