1、情感因素的定义
情感是人们对客观事物是否符合自己的需要而产生的态度的体验。
在语言教学中,情感是指学习者在学习过程中的感情、感觉、情绪、态度等(Amold&
Broun,1999)。
从教育心理学的角度看,学习过程中影响学习效果的最大因素之一是学习者的情感控制。
(束定芳等,1996:
46)积极的情感能创造有利于学习的心理状态,而消极的情感会影响学习潜力的正常发挥。
大量事实证明情感因素在英语教学和学习中不容忽视,学生、教师、课堂各方面都能导致情感障碍的产生。
Krashen(1981)提出五大假说理论中的第五假说为情感过滤(Affec-tiveFilterHypothesis):
情感屏障妨碍语言习得者充分利用可理解输入,当情感屏障强时,习得者也可能听懂或读懂语言输入,但输入到达不到语言习得机制。
1.2英语语言学习中情感因素的分类。

第一类是中学生的个别情感因素,包括学习动机、自信心、态度、性格及焦虑等。
(1)学习动机——分为内在动机(intrinsicmotivation)和外在动机(extrinsicmotivation)。
前者指学习受内在因素支配和推动、如兴趣、求知欲、好奇等;
后者指学习被外力推动,受外
部情景支配,如升级和升学、表扬、成绩分数、奖励等。
内部动机和外部动机相结合称为整合动机或综合动机(integrativmotivation),虽然外在动机也有利于第二语言的学习,但更重
要的是内在动机。
内在动机是外语学习取得长远成就的重要前提。

(5)焦虑——外语学习中最大的情感障碍,它是指个体由于预期不能达到目标或者不能克服障碍的威胁,使得其自尊心与自信心受挫,或使失败感和内疚感增加而形成的紧张不安,带有恐惧感的情绪状态(王银泉,万玉书,2001)。
焦虑给外语学习造成恶性循环,紧张和害怕影响精力和注意力,但是焦虑是可以克服的。
第二类是中学生与中学生之间以及中学生与教师之间的情感因素,如移情及课堂交流等等。
Stern认为“学习,特别是语言学习是一次情感的经历,而语言学习过程所诱发的情感,对于语言学习者的成功或失败起着关键作用”。
因此,在英语教学中,教师应注重发挥自己和学生两方面的积极情感要素,避免消极情感因素,才能使英语教学过程更具动力性、调节性、渗透性和启迪性。
