Psychological Issues of Learning Foreign Languages

Abstract

This article explores the psychological challenges encountered in learning a foreign language, which adversely affect the educational process. It focuses on the heightened anxiety that students often experience during foreign language classes and offers an in-depth discussion of various approaches to defining the concept of anxiety. Additionally, the study evaluates the use of theatrical play as an effective tool for alleviating anxiety in speaking situations and as a method for addressing psychological barriers in foreign language acquisition. The significance of this research stems from the limited exploration of theatrical play as a pedagogical innovation in foreign language education.
