| Summary: | This study explores in depth the factors that produce fear of speaking in English in 7th grade students, preventing them from participating orally in the classroom. It is a qualitative study in which five students and a teacher participated, who contributed significantly to the development of the research. Data collection was carried out through observations, semi-structured interviews with the English teacher, and through a focus group formed by the students, thus providing the necessary basis for the research. The results obtained reveal different factors identified in the classroom, among which stand out the emotional repercussions generated by the teasing of classmates, the inadequate interaction among students, as well as the fear of making mistakes or pronouncing words incorrectly. This analysis contributes to shed light on the underlying complexities that affect oral participation in the specific context of the English classroom. |
