STUDENTS' PSYCHOLOGICAL BARRIERS IN ORAL SPEECH AND WAYS TO OVERCOME THEM
Abstract
This study discusses psychological barriers in students’ oral speech, such as anxiety, fear of mistakes, and low self-confidence. It explains how these factors reduce speaking fluency and participation. The paper also highlights that supportive environments, motivation, and interactive activities like group work help students overcome these barriers and improve speaking skills.
