Abstract

        During foreign language learning, researchers always pay more attention to affective factors. In the past, there were many teaching methods, such as implied method, silence method, mass organizations languages learning method, and reaction method, all of which are emphasized by the affective factors of languages learning. Since 1970, the emphasis of languages teaching has turned to how teachers teach the learners’ learning. The important research field is affect, which is the individual factor that was caused by every learner. Research shows that foreign languages learning is affected by sex, age, character, learning environment, language ability, learning attitude, affective factors, cognitive style and learning strategy of the learners. Affective factors, such as language anxiety, learning motivation, self-esteem, self-confidence and inhibition, will directly affect learner’s learning action and learning results, and its effects and action is underestimated and ignored. Positive affect has the advantage of stimulating the learner’s interest and motivation in foreign language learning, bringing learning potential into play, surmounting languages anxiety and psychological inhibition, playing an active role in foreign languages learning. The thesis analyzes the learning motivation, languages anxiety, confidence, self-esteem, inhibition, and puts forward measures for cultivating positive affect and reducing negative affect. Importantly, the thesis also puts emphasis on the relationship between affective factors and foreign languages learning.

摘  　要

      外語學習中情感問題一直受到研究者們的關注。過去先后出現的教學法如暗示法，沉默法，社團語言學習法，全身反應法等都特別強調語言學習中的情感問題。20世紀70年代以來，語言教學研究的重點從研究教師如何轉向教學習者如何學，其中一個重要研究領域是—情感，這一造成學習結果差異的學習者個體因素。研究表明，外語學習受性別，年齡，個性特點，學習環境，語言學能，學習態度，情感因素，認知風格和學習策略等諸多因素的影響。情感因素，如語言焦慮，學習動機，自尊心，自信心，移情和抑制等，直接影響到學習者的學習行為和學習效果，其影響和作用是不可低估和忽視的。積極情感有利于激發外語學習者學習語言的興趣和動力，發揮其學習潛能，克服語言焦慮和心理抑制，對外語學習產生積極作用。文章分析了學習動機，語言焦慮，自信心，自尊心，抑制對外語習得的影響，提出培養積極情感，降低消極情感的策略。更重要的是本文著重強調和分析了情感因素之一――情感因素與外語學習的關系。因此，文章在分析了學習動機，語言焦慮，自信心，自尊心，抑制對外語習得的影響后，提出了培養積極情感，降低消極情感的策略。
