Macmillan Room: Auditorium Floor: 2nd Humanising
the English Language Classroom For a number of years
now there has been renewed interest in the affective domain and the
emotional factors which influence language learning. Today there is no
doubt that the language learning experience is much more effective when
both affect and cognition are considered.In this talk we will be drawing
on some theoretical knowledge about improving language teaching and
learning through a greater awareness of the role affect plays and its
beneficial effects on classroom management.The central idea in this talk
is to view some important issues in language learning such as: memory,
anxiety, self-esteem, facilitation, autonomy, classroom activities and
assessment from the perspective of affect.Examples will be taken from Inside
Out. Presenter:
