Abstract

This research paper examines the challenges and complexities involved in adopting foreign experiences and innovative technologies to enhance the quality of foreign language teaching. Drawing upon the context of Uzbek students at Gachon University, the study explores the nuanced implications of integrating diverse pedagogical strategies and digital innovations into the language learning process. Through a detailed investigation of foreign language anxiety (FLA) and its impact on language acquisition, this paper aims to shed light on the broader concerns associated with implementing foreign methodologies and technologies in a distinct cultural and educational setting.
