Abstract: Learning a foreign language is not just about mastering grammar and vocabulary; it’s also about having the confidence to use those skills in real-life situations. Self-confidence is key for English as a Foreign Language learners to express themselves and take risks in their learning. Through a literature-based approach, this article explores how teachers can play an important role in building this confidence, with a particular focus on the emotional safety of learners in the classroom. This article seeks to fill the gap by enlightening educators on strategies to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental classroom environment where learners can make mistakes and learn from them. The goal is to help teachers understand the importance of attending to the emotional needs of their students, most especially in promoting a more inclusive and nurturing learning environment.
