It is widely believed that in these days, learning Foreign Languages (FLs) has become a goal
due to professional or personal reasons. However, FL acquisition can be considered a
challenging experience in the learning area. That is because many students are worried when
they are about to face a Target Language (TL), expressed in fears or insecurities. Furthermore,
the process of learning a FL is not simple as many factors influence in the acquisition such as
motivation, self-esteem or anxiety. Hence, these affective variables can prevent or motivate
students to achieve properly a Second Language (L2), especially on the early stages of the
acquisition. Therefore, the present project will be mainly focused on one affective factor, which
is a feeling of tension, Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA), a field studied by many researchers
due to the many inconveniences that cause on learners. Consequently, the purpose of this
present contribution consists of the following. First of all, it aims at giving special attention to
the insights of FLA. Secondly, the paper’s goal is to elaborate a teaching proposal for students
who belong to first of Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO). Thus, the designed method is
generally intended for students with a basic A2 level of English. In this proposal five different
activities will be made with the purpose of reducing Language Anxiety (LA) learners may
experience when they are exposed to a FL. Finally, in order to implement this proposal, further
research of the topic would be advisable. [-]
