Once I had a shy student, so whenever there is a speaking exercise I divide my class into groups or pairs and I put the shy student with those who are more open to participate I noticed that this motivates the shy student to speak up especially after he is given - along with his peers- a sufficient time to prepare the answer. and of course I don't forget to praise the shy student's performance or answer in order to motivate him to participate more often.
working in groups is the best way to help shy students to communicate and get rid of their shiness

Try to share him with other students in all activities and in public discussions, , encourage him to be more positive in answering questions, without blaming or criticizing him, even when he has some wrong answers, also encouraging him to share his colleagues in all social activities in order buildup some special friendship.
Try have a look at Pavlov Classical Conditioning. Then identify what is the natural stimuls for a student. Younsters normally love fun. Pair the fun with the activities that lead to the desired behavior. For example, activities like pairing public speaking, short sketsa about the topic covered. Match the desired behaviours achieved with the positive reinforcement, praising, hands clapping, token economy etc. Come and attend my Psychology classes.
The shyness is basically due to fear of imbaresment, so if you start with something only between you and him/her, and he/she got incoraged, then involve one or tow student with you, then it will breack the spell - hepefully.
For the shy student and the little participation in the class you can motivate him significantly to increase his participation and focus on him and ask the question without his colleagues and thank him and make students applaud him when he answered correctly, but if the answer is wrong, thank him for participation and to show the students that he was brave and answered the question has approached the answer Correct.
In the end you should encourage him to participate whether the participation is true or false.
To be an example for the rest of the students not to fear the error
