Abstract

Loneliness is a common psychological experience during adolescence and may negatively influence emotional stability, social functioning, and overall mental health. Adolescents often struggle to cope with feelings of isolation due to developmental transitions, peer pressure, and identity formation. This scientific article examines learning foreign languages as an effective and constructive coping strategy for managing loneliness during adolescence. Based on psychological theories and empirical research, the study discusses how foreign language learning contributes to cognitive development, emotional regulation, social connectedness, and self-esteem. The article concludes that learning foreign languages can serve as a protective psychological resource that helps adolescents cope with loneliness in a productive and meaningful manner.
