This article explores the critical role of teachers in reducing intermediate learners’ fear of making mistakes during language learning. Drawing from historical and modern theories, as well as regional and international research, the psychological and pedagogical roots of mistake-related anxiety are examined. Empirical evidence and practical recommendations are provided to guide teachers in fostering learners’ self-confidence, creating a psychologically safe classroom environment, and reframing mistakes as opportunities for growth and development.References
