    Krashen proposed that affect, including motivation, attitude, interest and anxiety, plays an essential role in pupils’ language learning process as it could raise or lower the filter drastically (Gass, 2013; Lei, 2007). According to British Educational Communications and Technology Agency (2003), the use of technology in classroom could improve pupils’ confidence, motivation and self-esteem, especially their motivation to write. In addition, pupils found learning in a technology-enhanced setting more stimulating than in a traditional classroom (British Educational Communications and Technology Agency, 2003).

    One important question in e-learning is regarding why it is not always liked by people. Why are individuals reluctant to participate in e-learning sessions and why do they not like them? These questions, although not applicable to all the students, apply to many (Juutinen and Saariluoma 2006). Nevertheless, it is a real problem for the future development of this mode of teaching. If a large segment of people do not like e-learning, it easily slows down the development of the field and causes divisions between people who will and can benefit from e-learning courses, and people who cannot. Thinking about the future, the mental obstacles for participating in e-learning easily result in losing important opportunities in advancing one's personal…
