This article explores the linguo-psychological aspects involved in enhancing spoken English competence among academic lyceum students.

Drawing from empirical classroom observations, teacher interviews, and student surveys, this research identifies effective methods that align with learners' psychological profiles to improve their oral performance in English. This article highlights the importance of motivation, self-confidence, anxiety levels, and learning strategies in shaping learners' speaking abilities
