Overcoming Invisible Injuries in Language Learning: Dealing with the Affective Filter
In this episode of the Speak English Fearlessly podcast, we'll discusses the concept of invisible injuries in language learning.
Specifically, we'll be talking about the secret power that failure and the embarrassment that often comes with it, can have over us and our ability to learn English.
-Learn how the embarrassment experienced after making a pronunciation or grammar mistake can be similar to a physical injury except they aren't immediately apparent.
-You'll learn about your 'Affective Filter', a psychological barrier to language acquisition coined by linguist Stephen Krashen. This filter can lead to a fall in motivation, increased anxiety, fear of judgment, and avoidance of opportunities to practice.
- You'll learn how to take practical steps to begin lowering your affective filter so that it stops STOPPING you from moving forward with your English.
