Enhancing Second Language Acquisition: Understanding the Affective Filter Hypothesis

This session explores the impact of the Affective Filter Hypothesis on second language acquisition. It contrasts effective and ineffective language teaching methods, examining factors such as motivation, self-confidence, and anxiety. The relationship between learner emotions and input reception is emphasized: a high affective filter may block comprehension, while a low filter allows for more effective learning. The Input Hypothesis is discussed, highlighting the significance of providing comprehensible input (i+1) to facilitate language development. This session aims to empower educators with strategies to lower students' affective filters.
