CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis is another concept that has found wide acceptance with both researchers and ELL instructors. This theory suggests that an individual’s emotions can directly assist or interfere with the learning of a new language.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Affective Filter hypothesis embodies Krashen’s view that a number of ‘affective variables’ play a facilitative, but non-causal, role in second language acquisition. These variables include: motivation, self-confidence, anxiety and personality traits.

Detailed explanation-3: -Krashen (1986) cites motivation, self-confidence, and anxiety in the Affective Filter Hypothesis as three categories of variables that play a role in second language acquisition.

Detailed explanation-4: -The core parts of Krashen’s Monitor Model are composed of five interrelated hypotheses: the acquisition-Learning Hypothesis, the Monitor Hypothesis, the Natural Order Hypothesis, the Input Hypothesis and the Affective Filter Hypothesis, which we will look at in detail.
