The Affctive Filter Hypothesis :- The fifth hypothesis‚ the Affective Filter hypothesis‚ embodies Krashen’s view that a number of ’affective variables’ play a facilitative role in second language acquisition. These variables include motivation‚ self-confidence and a low level of anxiety are better equipped for success. Low motivation‚ low self-esteem‚ and debilitating anxiety can combine to ’raise’ the affective filter and form a ’mental block’. Comprehensible input may not be utilized by second-language
