I would recommend to get someone to practise with, even if s/he isnt great, then you'll feel more confident and your teacher can correct your mistakes in class. I got a grinds teacher to help me last year but that may not be an option for everyone.

In general do you get nervous speaking in front of a group or is it just in other languages? I've a really good sheet on confidence building for orals I can send you.
