Speaking is a language skill that is highly affected by human psychology (Haidara, 2014). Each individual has their own problems in the learning process and each problem is different from the other. That is why, most learners find it difficult to express themselves in a language that is not their mother tongue. This research paper investigates the effect of methodological strategies implemented in order to help students to overcome the fear of speaking in English. The study also reflects data collection, includes an observation guide, an interview and a survey analyzed descriptively. In the interviews and survey both students and teacher share their opinions about the factors that affect learners’ speaking performance. Findings indicate that the methodological strategies the teacher uses are appropriate with the level of knowledge students have. Those strategies can help them greatly because they participate actively and voluntarily. Also, the factors that obstruct their speaking ability evolution are fear of making mistakes and classmates criticism. |
