Abstract: Foreign language anxiety is a key psychological barrier to language acquisition. In this study, we propose a dynamic mitigation framework based on multi-modal conditional generative adversarial networks, which uses cross-modal transformers to fuse speech, text, and facial features in real time to identify anxiety states, and conditionalise them to generate text rewriting, speech adjustment, and visual guidance feedback. Experiments show that the anxiety recognition accuracy of the system reaches 85.3%, and the naturalness score of the generated feedback is significantly better than the baseline (mean opinion score 4.2). Longitudinal studies found that participants who used the system had an average 30% decrease in state anxiety scores and a 25% increase in spoken fluency. This study provides an effective paradigm for developing personalised and adaptive emotion regulation systems.

Keywords: adversarial networks; dynamic mitigation; affective computing; conditional generation.
