Abstract

Young learners experience anxiety and fear when using English language, particularly in speaking and communication tasks. This action research examines the impact of incorporating fun activities into English language teaching for primary and secondary classroom settings. Generally, application of word games, storytelling, role-playing, educational songs, creative art projects, and interactive digital quizzes in teaching learning enhance student engagement. Therefore, following a cyclical action research model—planning, implementation, observation, and reflection—the research gathers data through classroom observations, student feedback, and short assessments. Findings suggest that the use of fun activities significantly improves student participation, vocabulary retention, speaking fluency, and overall classroom environment. The study concludes that when English is taught through enjoyable and interactive methods, students become more confident, active, and motivated learners without anxiety. The results advocate for a pedagogical shift toward learner-centered, activity-based teaching approaches in English language classrooms.
