In recent years, educational policies have placed a greater emphasis on promoting bilingualism in academic institutions. This shift in paradigm presents new challenges related to strengthening communicative practices and improving English language proficiency for learners. As a result, the aim of this study is to analyze how the satisfaction of psychological requirements influences students' resilience and self-confidence in achieving communicative goals. The research sample consisted of 122 high school students from Iran, including 31 male participants and 91 female participants. The analytical techniques utilized in this study encompassed reliability analyses, descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, and bivariate correlations), as well as structural equation modeling. The results demonstrated a favorable relationship between the satisfaction of psychological requirements and both resilience and self-assurance. Furthermore, resilience demonstrated a favorable correlation with the willingness to communicate in English. These results could aid in the creation of teaching strategies and the design of educational programs focused on improving students' competencies, skills, and self-efficacy for the effective application of the English language both in the classroom and in a variety of other settings.
