Affective Factors and the Problem of Age in Second Language Acquisition

Schumann, John H.

Language Learning, 25, 2, 209-235, Dec 75

Based on a synopsis of research studies, the relationship of second language learning to affective factors, such as language shock, attitude motivation, ego permeability, etc., is examined. Also, it is suggested that affective variables may be more important than maturation in the problems of adults in learning a second language. (MS)
