The Implication of Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis on College Students’ Listening Learning
Abstract
English listening plays an important role in daily communication and is a necessary procedure in the second language acquisition process, but at the same time it is also an obvious obstacle for college students learning English. According to Krashen’s affective filtering hypothesis, learning motivation, self-confidence and anxiety have a huge influence on learners’ listening learning process. Therefore, this paper uses Krashen’s affective filter hypothesis to explore the impact of affective factors on college students’ English listening learning, and proposes several related strategies to contribute to improving college students’ English listening ability.References
