- Krathwohl, Bloom, and Masia (1964) provided a commonly used definition of the affective domain.
The Affective Domain in Second Language Acquisition
- Affect encompasses emotion and feeling.
- Receiving, responding, valuing, and organizing values into a system are key stages in developing affect in the context of language learning, according to Bloom's taxonomy.
- Language is deeply embedded in virtually every aspect of human behavior, inseparable from a person's overall experience.
- Language is a form of human behavior, not entirely distinguishable from non-verbal behavior.
- Self-esteem is described as the evaluation made of oneself, and the approval or disapproval related to that evaluation.
- Self-esteem is an attitude of capability, significance, and value judgments, expressed in overall self-appraisals.
- Situational or specific self-esteem is dependent on specific situations and certain personality traits, as opposed to general, global self-esteem.
Self-Esteem, Attribution, and Self-Efficacy Theory
- Self-esteem is the most pervasive aspect of human behavior.
- Successful behavior and activity often depend on self-esteem.
- Malinowski (1923) emphasized self-definition and acceptance for personality development.
- Self-esteem involves acceptance of oneself in relation to others.
- Coopersmith (1967) defines self-esteem as an individual's judgment of their value and how well they perceive themselves.
- Global, situational, and task-oriented forms of self-esteem are presented.
- Heyde (1979) found a correlation between oral proficiency and self-esteem in French.
Willingness to Communicate (WTC)
- Willingness to Communicate is a learner's intention to engage in communication.
- Motivation, personality, and social support relate to WTC levels.
- Personality traits like introversion and extroversion influence communicative behavior.
- Inhibition plays a role in communication, often stemming from lack of self-confidence.
Anxiety
- Anxiety plays a significant role in second language acquisition.
- Anxiety can be broadly categorized as trait anxiety (general predisposition) or state anxiety (temporary, situational).
- Spielberger (1983) describes anxiety as subjective feelings of tension and worry.
- Scovel (1978) categorized anxiety levels as facilitative and debilitative.
Culture
- Culture is a way of life, influencing how individuals think, feel, and relate to others.
- Cultural contexts are significant for cognitive and affective behavior.
- Culture and language are intertwined.
- Cultural beliefs, norms, and values can either help or hinder language acquisition.
Socio-cultural Factors
- These factors significantly affect language learners.
- Stereotypes, generalizations, and attitudes are examples of sociocultural elements.
- Social distance refers to differences in perception between two interacting cultures.
- Perceived social distance is more influential than actual distance.
