Personality Factors (SLA)

Human beings are emotional creatures

we need to consider personality factor to learn a second language.
some of this factors are:

• Emphaty (putting yourself into someone else's shoes)
• emotional state.
• Cognitive side.
• Self Esteem, this is connected with risk taking, inhibition and ego defense.
• Anxiety, there are 2 types.. the first one is Trait, this is permanent, they always feel anxious, every moment.. and the second one, State, this is only in situations, not always.
• Affection: Receiving, Responding, Valuing (thing, person, behavior), Organization (belief), Value System (world view)

something that we need to consider is if the student is introvert or extrovert.

Second language acquisition involves a new identity.

Teachers can have a positive and influential effect on linguistic performance and the emotional well being of the student.
