Abstract
This thesis examines the psychological and pedagogical aspects of developing speaking skills in foreign language learning. Speaking is viewed as a complex process influenced by learners’ cognitive abilities, emotional factors such as motivation and anxiety, and the learning environment. The study highlights the importance of combining psychological support with effective teaching strategies to enhance learners’ oral communication. The findings emphasize the role of communicative and task-based activities in fostering confidence, fluency, and active participation in speaking.
