Los factores psicológicos juegan un papel crucial en el desarrollo de la competencia oral en inglés como lengua extranjera. Esta investigación examina los elementos que afectan el desarrollo de habilidades orales en estudiantes de la carrera de inglés de la Universidad Técnica de Cotopaxi (UTC). Mediante un enfoque de métodos mixtos (cualitativo y cuantitativo), se aplicó un cuestionario a 54 estudiantes de primer semestre y entrevistas semiestructuradas a tres profesores. Los resultados revelan que el miedo a la crítica es la barrera emocional más significativa, seguido por la dependencia del español al expresarse. El rol del profesor emerge como factor determinante, especialmente en la creación de ambientes de aprendizaje positivos. Las entrevistas con docentes confirman que la ansiedad y la falta de confianza son obstáculos principales para la participación oral. Se concluye que un enfoque holístico que integre aspectos emocionales y pedagógicos es fundamental para mejorar la competencia oral en inglés, sugiriendo la implementación de estrategias específicas para el manejo de la ansiedad y el desarrollo de programas de capacitación docente enfocados en aspectos psicológicos del aprendizaje.
