CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The affective filter is a metaphor that describes a learner’s attitudes that affect the relative success of second language acquisition. Negative feelings such as lack of motivation, lack of self-confidence and learning anxiety act as filters that hinder and obstruct language learning.

Detailed explanation-2: -This study examines five affective variables: motivation, attitudes, anxiety, self-esteem and autonomy, with the aim of establishing their effect, together and individually, on learners’ L2 achievement.

Detailed explanation-3: -Affective factors include inhibition, attitudes, level of anxiety, and self-esteem.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the affective filter is low, the learner is in an emotionally safe place. These feelings of safety lower imaginary walls, promoting more successful language acquisition. This type of environment becomes a welcoming invitation to keep learning!
