The Importance of Affective Variables in EFL Writing
Journal Title: In Translation / في الترجمة - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Dissimilar to the early theories of instruction, which downplayed the role of the learner, recent researches in EFL have started to approach language learning and understanding from inside the learner, giving cardinal importance to such affective factors, like personality, anxiety, self-esteem, motivation, and attitude. This paper attempts to evince some affective variables that greatly effect students‘ level of achievement in the writing skill, which is considered as a very important skill in language learning.
