The article deals with the forms of alienation that can appear in the process of foreign languages learning. Despite the availability of a wide range of research on the process of foreign languages learning, it can be noticed that the essence of the changes taking place around us is not examined in these studies. Socio-philosophical analysis of personal forms of alienation shows that the personality of a foreign language learner is often estranged from the actual process of learning, while functionality and alienation become a norm of interaction between teacher and students. The aim of the article is to identify the forms of alienation and conduct a socio-philosophical analysis of these forms. To make learning process effective, a teacher must involve a learner in a number of situations - social, cultural, communicative. However, at these levels the problem of alienation may arise. The loss of individual self-sufficiency can be noted at the social level in the process of learning foreign languages. To be able to communicate, individuals must have shared their cultural and organized codes that are both integrated into their social relations system. However, information and data that today's students obtain are often fragmented, superficial; the value of systematic knowledge is underestimated, which leads to loss of interest and the arising of indifference to the process of learning, to the state of alienation of the individual from the results of learning.
