Sometimes it is not easy to speak English in a confident way in front of your classmates or just other people... so, here there are some advices for you.

Activities to improve your confidence:

2. Practice and talk to a different person everyday for a complete week. It can be a teacher or a new classmate. Why not talking to the native speaker volunteer working at your school? Or the old lady living next your house? If they speak English, just do it!
3. English day! Try  just to use English language to communicate in a day... it can be interesting or bring you some funny situations, who knows?
And remember, 
practice, practice, practice and have fun!
