Abstract

Language anxiety is a common phenomenon experienced by learners while learning a foreign language. Due to its significant impact on learners, language anxiety can lead to a decrease in motivation, overall decrease in language proficiency, and a lack of participation in classroom activities. The negative correlation between proficiency and speaking anxiety is a significant issue in language learning. Distress or uneasiness of the mind caused by anxiety is an emotional encounter any language learner could have. However, speaking anxiety makes language learners feel inhibited and does not allow them to perform their tasks effectively. This paper suggests some strategies to language learners that help them cope with their speaking anxieties.
