 Definition

• Affective hypothesis accounts for the influence of affective

factors on second language acquisition; non-linguistic
variables such as motivation, self-confidence, and anxiety.
 Affective Factors Effects

• Learners with high motivation, self-confidence, a good self-image,

and a low level of anxiety are better equipped for success in
second language acquisition.

• On the other hand, learners with low motivation, low self-esteem,

and debilitating anxiety may lead to the forming of a 'mental block'
that prevents comprehensible input from being used for
acquisition.
 Application For Teaching
• Create a safe and welcoming environment in which students
can learn.

• Learners need to feel that they are able to make mistakes and
take risks in order to take in and produce language.

• Appropriate Error Correction

Manuel. You do live in a yellow house. Tell me more
about it.” replied Mrs. Carlson.
