Abstract
There are many factors that influence and promote second language learning and this research examines how to promote second language learning and teaching by exploring three main individual factors, namely motivation, anxiety and enjoyment. By understanding students' extrinsic motivation, teachers can use rewards or foster a sense of responsibility in learners to stimulate their latent interest. Although anxiety is generally regarded as a negative factor in learning, it can be reduced and language learning facilitated by studying the mechanisms of anxiety. The opposite of anxiety is enjoyment, and teachers can find a rewarding and enjoyable way to encourage students to make progress. Second language learning can therefore be facilitated through a range of research into the three important individual differences in motivation, anxiety and enjoyment.
Highlights
With the rapid development of the society, more and more people start to investigate second language acquisition (SLA), which correspondingly promotes the increase of the quantity of the research and even facilitates the grow of the area of SLA
Motivation is an element which can not be ignored relating to higher ability of SLA, In this essay, the motivation factor includes two parts, integrative motivation & instrumental motivation and intrinsic motivation & extrinsic motivation
In integrative motivation is the kind of motivation that can motivate learners to learn L2 because of their wish of come close to other culture and community, while instrumental motivation refers to learners study hard because their pragmatic desire
Summary
With the rapid development of the society, more and more people start to investigate second language acquisition (SLA), which correspondingly promotes the increase of the quantity of the research and even facilitates the grow of the area of SLA. This further gives people more chances and details to understand how difficult and complicated for second language (L2) learners to study L2 (Peter, 1989). After studying how anxiety influences foreign language learning, it will be easier to explain enjoyment and how to create enjoyable learning environment
