METHODOLOGY FOR OVERCOMING PSYCHOLOGICAL BARRIERS IN DEVELOPING SPEAKING SKILLS IN ENGLISH IN PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

In primary school English learning, students often encounter various psychological barriers during speaking activities. In particular, shyness, fear of making mistakes, lack of self-confidence, and limited vocabulary seriously affect their ability to communicate freely. Therefore, overcoming this problem is considered one of the important tasks of modern education.

The main aim of this study is to identify the psychological barriers encountered in developing English speaking skills in primary school students and to develop effective methods to overcome them. During the research, psychological factors such as students' emotional state, motivation, and self-confidence are analyzed.

In addition, practical approaches that can be applied in the learning process are proposed. These include the use of communicative methods, organizing interactive activities that actively engage students in communication, and creating a supportive and relaxed learning environment. These approaches help to increase students' speaking activity, reduce their fear, and develop their ability to express ideas freely in English.As a result, the developed methodology is expected to effectively contribute to improving primary school students' English speaking skills and overcoming their psychological barriers.
