AFFECTIVE FACTORS
Affective factor is one aspect that can influence the styles and strategies used by the second language learners. This opinion is supported by Keefe’s (1982: 4) definition about the style (will be explain further in the next chapter). He stated that style is not only cognitive traits, but also affective and physiological traits. From his definition, we can see clearly the relationship between learning styles and affective factors of the learners. Most of learning styles used by learners are shaped by their personality characteristics.
Affective refers to emotional side of human being (Hulse, Egeth, Deese, 1981: 4). The affective factors meant in second language learning includes the self-esteem, attribution theory and self-efficacy, willingness to communicate, inhibition, risk taking, anxiety, empathy and extroversion.
