4. Anxiety is associated with feelings of uneasiness, frustration, selfdoubt, apprehension, or worry (Scovel, 1978: 134).
Scovel further distinguishes anxiety into two types, they are:
a. Facilitative anxiety : Motivates the learner to fight the new
learning task. It gears the learner emotionally for approval
behavior.
b. Debilitative anxiety : Motivates the learner to flee the new
learning task. It stimulates the individual emotionally to adopt
avoidance behavior.
The two types of anxiety based on Oxford (1990):
c. Helpful anxiety : It is a positive factor relates to some concern
or comprehension over a particular task to be accomplished.
d. Harmful anxiety : It is a negative factor that may relate to
nervousness or tension which rids someone from accomplishing
the job; some self-doubt which should be avoided at all costs.
Conclusion
Affect is a feeling or emotion as distinguished from cognition, thought,
or action. In the case of language learning, it can refer to feelings or
emotional reactions about the language, about the people who speak
that language, or about the culture where that language is spoken.
Affective domain includes the manner in which we deal with things
emotionally, such as feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms,
motivations, and attitudes.
